The Obion County Board of Education approved two procurement items at its Aug. 4 meeting. On Director Tim Watkins’ recommendation the board accepted a bid from Hub City Tire for $346.35 to supply tires; a competing bid from Best One Tire for $388.82 was on the record but not selected.

The board also accepted the highest qualifying bid for a 2007 surplus Dodge Durango. Two bids were received: Ronnie Wilson offered $501 and Valarie Hyde offered $3,500. On Watkins’ recommendation the board accepted the $3,500 bid from Valarie Hyde.

Both motions were made and seconded by board members and recorded as carried in the minutes; the tire bid motion was moved by Tim Britt and seconded by Shannon Graham, and the surplus vehicle sale motion was moved by Tim Britt and seconded by Barry Adams. The minutes list these as approved with no further conditions.
