The Board conducted a bid opening for delivery and pickup of election
equipment. Jean Byers, Deputy Chief Clerk, explained that we have this bid every three
years. In 2006 the Federal Government passed the Help America Vote Act where we
had to provide precinct counter machines and an ADA machine at each precinct. She
continued that we have to use a moving company to help deliver election equipment to
many of the polling places due to needing larger trucks and more manpower to help
deliver the equipment. The following bidder submitted a bid: Zody's Moving & Storage,
Inc. from Waynesboro bid $88.90 for fuel surcharge which includes 5 vans per day;
$136.50 per hour for two men and a truck; $136.50 for travel time with 1 hour travel time
to be added to actual start/stop time per unit/per day. Ms. Byers said the hourly cost is
the same as three years ago but the fuel cost is higher. She believes these are good
numbers. She said the cost has averaged $10,000 to $11,000 per election. On a
motion by Robert L. Thomas, seconded by David S. Keller; unanimously approved to
award to Zody's Moving & Storage. This was the only bid received.
