Jefferson County commissioners approve new pickup for sheriff's office
Summary
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted to buy a state-bid Chevrolet Silverado half-ton pickup for the sheriff's office, citing department requirements; purchase order to follow.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted to purchase a Chevrolet Silverado half-ton pickup for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at the state bid price of $61,291.43.
The vehicle purchase was presented during the commissioners’ public meeting as a state-bid order and described as meeting law-enforcement requirements for the sheriff’s fleet. The board moved and seconded a motion to proceed; a roll-call vote was taken and commissioners voted in the affirmative.
Lieutenant Williams introduced the request and said the vehicle would be a half-ton pickup and listed the state-bid specification (Chevrolet Silverado, jet black, 4-wheel drive). Commissioners asked that the specifications meet the sheriff’s office needs for law-enforcement use before finalizing a purchase order. After the vote the board asked staff to prepare a purchase order and begin procurement paperwork.
The approval authorizes the county to proceed with procurement through the state bidding process; the clerk’s office and county finance staff will process the required purchase order and administrative steps to complete the acquisition.
No votes against or abstentions were recorded in the meeting transcript.
