Winamac town council members opened mowing bids for the town cemetery when they met last Monday.
Council President Tom Murray opened two bids for the mowing contracts. The first came from Councilman Dan Vanaman for $1,950. President Murray mentioned that an insurance certificate came with the bid and that it indicated that the price for mow and trim for each time.
The second bid came Compton Lawn Care for $2,875 per mowing. President Murray said he believed they couldn’t meet the terms of the bid since it indicated that payment terms due five business days after invoice and the invoice would be submitted immediately after the mowing job.
However, Town Manager Brad Zellers clarified that he advertised the job with that possibility included. Zellers said as long as it was approved, they would be able to pay either bidder that way.
Murray said the bids would be taken under advisement. Zellers added that it will be acted on at the final town council meeting of the year which has been scheduled for Friday, December 29th.
