History
The 2009 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $99,000 for the purchase of three replacement trucks for the Utilities Division of the Public Works Department. This request is the last of the three vehicles requested and will replace a 1995 P-30 Step Van with 80,000 miles. Costs overall for the three vehicles originally proposed total $89,243 which is $9,757 below the original proposed and approved request.
The legal notice for a Service Van built on a cutaway van chassis and equipped with a walk-in service body ran in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Monday, November 30, 2009. In addition, bid packets were sent to five vendors. In return, six bids were received. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Monday, December 14, 2009.
