Nutter Fort council awards two vehicle contracts to Jenkins Ford
Summary
At its April 28 meeting, the Nutter Fort council awarded contracts to Jenkins Ford for a 2026 Ford Super Duty F350 ($70,222) and a 2026 Ford AWD Police Interceptor ($61,172.26) after disqualifying two bids that did not meet specifications.
The Nutter Fort Town Council voted April 28 to award two vehicle contracts to Jenkins Ford of Buckhannon, WV, selecting the dealer’s bids for a 2026 Ford Super Duty F350 and a 2026 Ford AWD Police Interceptor.
Council reviewed multiple bids for both vehicles and disqualified two proposals for failing to meet the specifications included in the solicitation. Jenkins Ford’s qualified bid for the F350 was $70,222; Thornhill Commercial Solutions of Chapmanville bid $76,367. For the Police Interceptor, Jenkins Ford bid $61,172.26 and Thornhill bid $64,253.00. Public Works Supervisor Travis Yost and Police Chief Adam Titchnell reviewed the specifications with the mayor before the council voted.
Councilor Sam Maxson moved to accept Jenkins Ford’s bid for the F350; Charlene Louk seconded. The roll call recorded Rick Lafferty Yes, Recorder Natalie Haddix Yes, Shawn Spurlock Yes, with Councilor Karen Phillips absent. The motion carried and the F350 award was made to Jenkins Ford. Later, Charlene Louk moved to accept Jenkins Ford’s Interceptor bid, seconded by Rick Lafferty; the council again approved the award to Jenkins Ford.
The purchases are intended to replace aging municipal vehicles in public works and the police fleet; council did not provide a delivery timeline at the meeting. The council minutes note that two vendors failed to meet bid specifications, but the minutes do not specify which vendors or which specifications were deficient.
