The Stockbridge City Council decided at its Aug. 10 regular meeting against making two large vehicle purchases for the city’s water and sewer department. Consideration of a $69,673.84 purchase of a dump bed truck was tabled.
The purpose for this vehicle was for city workers to bring and remove debris from work sites, and its size is such that a commercial driver’s license is not required to operate it. A motion failed in an attempt to purchase a much larger truck in the amount of $406,922. Its stated purpose was to be used for a variety of functions, including hydro-excavation.
Both proposed sales were under state contracts with multiple eligible vendors.
