The Warwick City Council meeting, dated October 6, 2026 in the metadata (the title references 10.5.26), considered several procurement items. The council approved the resolution relative to bids, including a two-year, as-needed OEM parts contract for police vehicles (bid 2027-164, $220,000). Tasca offered a 35% discount on applicable list prices and a 25% battery discount, compared with Madden Ford’s 20% battery discount; staff cited Tasca’s proximity and delivery speed. The council also approved traffic/street/pole maintenance and repairs (2027-159) and 150-horsepower Yamaha outboard motors (2027-134), though the transcript does not state their award amounts. Microsoft Office 365 licensing and support was presented as an annual purchase through the state’s MPA 227; the request was not to exceed $150,000 while state negotiations on two price components remained pending. Staff also explained that rescue-service billing administrator payments would rise as the administrator receives about 2.75% of higher nonresident service fees.

The council approved an amendment to PCR 110-26 for computer hardware, raising the total from $15,000 to $25,849.82. The purchase includes a police forensics computer and a city-use printer/plotter/scanner for digitizing water-department records; the amendment and amended resolution passed unanimously. In discussion of a dumpster purchase, staff cited a recent steel-price increase of approximately $600–$700 per unit and urgency in relation to a grant, but the transcript does not establish the final award or vote. No other specific procurement awards or spending votes were clearly identifiable.
