Lakeside Chevrolet, Warsaw, was awarded the bid Friday for the city’s purchase of three Chevy Caprice patrol vehicles for Warsaw Police Department. Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety approved an $80,100 contract with Lakeside to purchase the three 2014 vehicles. The board also reviewed a $77,986 quote from Kelley Chevrolet, Fort Wayne. Although the quote from Lakeside is higher than Kelley, the board voted to accept Lakeside’s quote as the bid is local and vehicle maintenance and service will be easier. Also during the meeting, the board approved a $1,000 payment to Scearce Rudisel for third floor construction in the city hall for offices for OrthoWorx. The board approved three payments to Harold McComb & Sons for third floor renovations to the new city hall, including a $26,860.50 payment for work completed through Dec. 31, a $2,700 payment for work completed through Jan. 31 and a $1,600 payment for work on coating on the deck at city hall.
