Annual bids for things like tires, concrete, fuel and garbage dumpsters were approved at Monday’s Clanton City Council meeting.

The following low bids were approved:

•Bo-Mart Tire and Service had the only bid for city tires. The quoted price of $27,927 covered one tire of every vehicle in the city’s fleet, not including the police department.

•Shelby Concrete, Inc. had the only bid for concrete at $74 per yard and $79 per yard with fibers.

•W.H. Thomas Oil Co., Inc. had the only bid for diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline. The quoted price per gallon of diesel was $3.1557. The quoted price per gallon of unleaded gasoline was $3.009. That’s not what the city will pay for fuel though — as the price for both fluctuate, the city will pay a nickel per gallon over rack price.

•Nu-Life Environmental had the low bid for 6-yard dumpsters at $850 apiece.

•Chilton Contractors had the low bid for hauling of rock at $4.57 per ton of 3/4-inch crushed rock, $4.75 per ton of No. 57 stone and $4.95 per ton of riprap.

•Otto Environmental Systems, LLC had the only bid for garbage roll out carts at $49.31 apiece.

•Southeast Materials Corporation had the low bid for rock at $6.90 per ton of 3/4 –inch crushed rock, $7.40 per ton of No. 57 stone and $9.90 per ton of riprap.

In other business, the council took the following actions:

•Approved sending Clanton Police Sgt. Neil Fetner to the Southern Software Training Conference in South Carolina and Dewayne Driver and Cameron Bates to Fire Inspector I class at the Alabama Fire College. Both training programs are in October.

•Reappointed Mary Mell Smith to another six-year term on the Airport Authority board.
