Purchasing Committee votes to recommend three procurement items to council
Summary
At its meeting the Purchasing Committee approved recommendations to send to the council: a $30,840 AED purchase, a $42,922 administrative rescue vehicle, and two DPW F‑350 trucks totaling $118,001.60. All motions were approved by voice vote and will be forwarded to the council.
The Purchasing Committee handled three procurement items and voted to recommend each to the full council for final action. The committee approved a motion to recommend purchase of 10 AEDs and protective cases for $30,840 funded from the Oak opioid fund; it also voted to recommend approval of an administrative rescue vehicle priced at $42,922 procured through pre-bid municipal vehicle contracts; and it recommended purchase of two Ford F-350 trucks for DPW at a combined quoted cost of $118,001.60.
Each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting. The chair confirmed procurement paths for the items (MAS MPA for the AEDs and Greater Boston Police Council / Colonial Municipal Group methods for vehicles). The committee solicited public comment but no substantive resident remarks were recorded in the transcript. The recommendations will be forwarded to the council for final consideration.
