County approves purchase of three Bobcat machines for airport operations, $71,033.55
Summary
Routt County authorized purchase of two Tool Cat utility vehicles and one skid-steer loader for YVRA through Sourcewell/Severson Supply for up to $71,033.55, using a municipal rollover program that includes trade-ins.
Routt County commissioners authorized the county manager to sign a purchase order to Severson Supply Company Inc. for three Bobcat machines for Yampa Valley Regional Airport operations and snow response. The purchase includes two 2025 Bobcat Tool Cat UW56 machines at $18,964.17 each and one 2025 Bobcat S770 skid-steer loader at $33,105.21, with trade-in values applied, for a total not to exceed $71,033.55.
Staff said the municipal rollover program through Sourcewell provides pricing discounts, warranty benefits and quick repair service during winter operations. Airport staff explained they typically keep machines under warranty and transfer GPS units and beacons off old machines before trade-in to preserve investments. Commissioners noted the purchase came in under the budgeted amount of roughly $80,000.
Action taken: a motion to approve the purchase and authorize electronic signature on the purchase order passed by voice vote.
