Executive Secretary Report
Mr. Botelho informed the Board that a bid opening was held last week on a Heavy Duty, Rubber Tired, Articulating Municipal Tractor; funding for this machine is through an article passed by the 2000 annual town meeting. Two bids were received.
Informed the Board that Mr. Haines has reviewed the bids and submitted a recommendation to the Board that the bid be awarded to the low bidder, C.N. Wood Co. Inc.; noted that this company was the only bidder to meet all five of the basic bid qualification specifications.
M/Hardy, s/Morey, a unanimous vote, move that as authorized by Article 18 of the 2000 Annual Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen award the bid for purchase of a Heavy Duty, Rubber-tired, Articulating Municipal Tractor to the low bidder, C.N. Wood Co., Inc., 200 Merrimac Street, Woburn, MA for a total of $80,000.00.
Mr. Hardy noted that the original article was for $89,000, so that the bid is under the total article amount.
