Council tables two vehicle procurements pending specification review
Summary
Councilors unanimously voted to table bids for a 2026 Ford Super Duty F350 and a 2026 AWD Police Interceptor until vehicle specifications can be reviewed. Four bids were recorded for each vehicle with prices ranging from ~$46,500 to ~$76,367.
Councilors moved unanimously to table two separate vehicle procurement items to allow staff and council time to review specifications. For the 2026 Ford Super Duty F350, four bids were recorded: MidState Ford $65,378.00; Whiteside Chevrolet $74,556.00; Thornhill Ford $76,367.00; Jenkins Ford $67,222.84. Councilor Shawn Spurlock moved to table that item and Councilor Sam Maxson seconded; a roll call passed the motion.
Separately, bids for a 2026 AWD Police Interceptor also were tabled. Four bids were reported: MidState Ford $54,947.00; Whiteside Chevrolet $83,704.00; Thornhill Ford $64,253.00; Jenkins Ford $46,500.00. Councilor Rick Lafferty moved to table and Councilor Karen Phillips seconded; a roll call vote passed unanimously. Council recorded that both items will be revisited after specification review.
Why it matters: The recorded bid amounts provide a clear price range for council consideration; tabling preserves the town’s ability to ensure specifications meet operational needs before committing funds or awarding contracts.
