Chairman Brown called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m.
All members were present.
Bid Opening; Propane Auto Fuel: At the appointed time, the
following bids were opened and read into the minutes: l)Buckeye Gas
Products: $22,715.00; 2)Olympic Propane Inc.: $23,080.00. After
comparing the proposals, it was determined that the cost of electrical
work the County would be required to have done for installation of
Buckeye tanks would exceed the difference in the slightly lower bid
price for fuel by Buckeye. Therefore, the Olympic bid was deemed to
be more advantageous to the County and Commissioner O'Meara moved to
award the contract for propane fuel for 1982 to Olympic Propane Inc.
Commissioner Mercer seconded the motion. Unanimous.
