Mashburn said N.C. G.S. 143.129 stipulated that," bid awards shall be made to the lowest
responsible bidder taken into consideration quality, performance, and the time specified in the
proposals for the performance of the contract." He said the County staff had tried to ensure that all
bidders met the conditions. Mashburn said he felt the local vendor on the compactor could provide
all conditions as well as the lowest vendor, but in keeping with North Carolina laws, it was the
states recommendation to go with the Landfill & Construction Company (Missouri). Attorney Pope
concurred with the reasoning for this decision. In regards to the truck, the staff recommends
Carolina Environmental (Greensboro, N.C.). Pertaining to the bulldozer, the staffrecommends Allen
Church Grading (Statesville, N.C.)
The county manager said the local vendor indicated that during the period of time the
compactor was being manufactured a loaned compactor could be brought in for use. Mashburn said
that in trying to assign a value for this, it is already known the County presently pays this vendor
$6,000 per month for a compactor. The low bidder stipulated it would be able to deliver anew built
piece of equipment within 60 days. Using this information, 60 days would equal $12,000. This
would still put the local vendor at $3,000 more than the lowest bidder.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to award the compactor bid to Landfill & Construction
Equipment Company in the amount of $130,000 and to award the roll -off truck bid to Carolina
Environmental Systems, Inc. in the amount of $84,167, and to initiate Budget Amendment 933 for
these purchases.
