Triple L representatives press county over prior commissioner comments after split procurement vote
Summary
Triple L owner and staff confronted the commission about earlier remarks suggesting the county would not do business with Triple L; commissioners had previously approved a low bid for a brake repair 2-1, with Commissioner Grable dissenting and citing a Redneck Diesel assessment.
Owners and staff from Triple L appeared before the Doniphan County Commission to address comments made by Commissioner Wayne Grable the previous week suggesting the county would not do business with Triple L. The meeting record shows Triple L owner Matt Cluck, mechanic Colby Meyer and others attended to raise concerns about recent remarks and the county's bidding practices.
The assembly followed a split vote earlier in the meeting on a brake repair bid for a county 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The commission accepted the low bid from Neumann Services ($1,062.70) on a 2-1 vote. Commissioner Grable cast the lone nay and cited a prior assessment by Redneck Diesel, saying the firm found "the brakes still had 50% life left and they could find nothing wrong with it." Triple L representatives asked the commission for clarity on bidding procedures and on comments that could affect their business.
No formal action was taken at the Aug. 24 meeting regarding allegations about procurement practices; the matter was discussed and the meeting adjourned at 12:38 P.M.
