At the Nov. 17 meeting the Tippecanoe County Board of Commissioners handled multiple procurement and grant items: fuel, paver and dump‑truck proposals were presented and taken under advisement, and the board approved administrative requests to pursue a public‑safety GIS seed grant and a service agreement for community corrections tied to the Tippecanoe County Regional Opioid Settlement Community Committee.
Staff presented fuel bids from Keystone Cooperative, Atlantic Petroleum and Newton Oil with per‑gallon prices for regular and several diesel blends; the board voted to take 2026 gasoline and diesel bids under advisement so staff can prepare a register and compare volumes and markup structures. Staff also presented paver proposals (McAllister Machinery and Brandeis Machinery) and dump‑truck proposals (McMahon Truck Center, Marcus Hayden New Truck Sales, Stoops Freightliner), and commissioners voted to take those proposals under advisement for technical evaluation.
On grants and service agreements, staff requested permission to apply for a seed grant to clean and reconcile MSAG/ALI/GIS datasets to improve CAD/9‑1‑1 mapping; the board approved application permission. The board also approved a service agreement contract for community corrections with a platform described as for use among agencies participating in the county's regional opioid‑settlement committee.
These items were acted on by voice vote with motions and seconds recorded; staff will return detailed comparisons, registers, and project-specific agreements to the board for later approval.
