Summary

Council approved a resolution declaring Tomco Systems the only reasonably available vendor for a CO2 system needed after retiring Well 4, and authorized the cooperative purchase of a $324,000 hazmat response vehicle funded by IOEM; both items passed by roll call.

Council approved a resolution declaring Tomco Systems the only reasonably available vendor for a CO2 system needed to supplement alkalinity after the discontinued use of well number 4, a staff‑recommended sole‑source determination the city engineer presented for action.

Separately, the council authorized a cooperative purchase of a Ford F‑550 hazmat/response vehicle through a Sourcewell contract in the amount of $324,000. The purchase is funded through the Idaho Military Division hazardous materials response program and the mayor was authorized to execute the purchase documents.

Both actions were approved by roll‑call vote. City staff said the purchases are necessary to maintain water chemistry and hazardous‑materials response capacity; the hazmat vehicle purchase uses specific grant funding and will proceed per the contract arrangement.
