Committee accepts Country Visions propane contract at $1.399/gal; department tanks limit bidding
Summary
The Highway Committee accepted a propane contract with Country Visions at $1.399 per gallon after the Highway Commissioner negotiated a $0.05/gal reduction; the county's tanks are owned by Country Visions, preventing competitive bids.
The committee voted to accept a propane contract with Country Visions at a price of $1.399 per gallon after Commissioner Brandon Hytinen negotiated an additional $0.05 per gallon reduction. Hytinen told the committee that the department’s tanks are owned by Country Visions, so the county is unable to request bids from other providers.
The motion by Joel Lavarda, seconded by Dave Behrend, was recorded as carried. No alternate provider bids were solicited because of the tank ownership; the committee approved the contract and the procurement will proceed under those conditions.
