Dad’s Car Care Center is located in the city limits, on Cleveland Ave. NW. Director Highman added that the Police Dept. prefers to use Red Carpet Car Wash because they are able to perform the biological cleaning sometimes needed in Police vehicles. Mayor Bernabei also asked if Patriot Car Wash on Tuscarawas St. will be awarded a contract. Katie Wise mentioned that Patriot does not offer interior cleaning. They did submit quotes, however they only provided prices for the exterior washing of cars and vans. Their prices for exterior washing was $5.00, which is higher than the pricing from Red Carpet and Dad’s, which were both $4.25. Mayor Bernabei suggested that these contracts be tabled at this time and come back at the next Board of Control meeting with contracts for all three businesses. We should extend a contract to Patriot since they are inside the city limits and are closer that either Red Carpet or Dad’s.
