Commission approves additional equipment cost for sheriff’s 2025 Dodge Ram procurement
Summary
The commission voted May 14 to approve roughly $1,880 in additional equipment to bring a newly ordered 2025 Dodge Ram 1500 up to department specifications; the meeting transcript contains inconsistent references to the dollar amount.
During the May 14 meeting, county staff reported that a previously approved purchase of a 2025 Dodge Ram 1500 for the sheriff’s office requires additional equipment to meet department specifications and that the incremental cost is approximately $1,880.
The presenter listed added items such as a wire harness for the power distribution center, 20-amp battery circuits, red-and-white dome light, headlight/taillight flash systems, a spot pre-wire and power distribution center work. Staff said those items were not included in the original bid and would be fitted aftermarket, and that adding the equipment to the lowest bid still results in the lowest overall cost among bids received.
Commissioners voted to approve the additional equipment cost. The meeting transcript also contains inconsistent numeric references (two lines that appear to say "$18.80"), which staff did not clarify during the meeting; a clarifying follow-up with purchasing staff is recommended to confirm the exact incremental cost prior to payment.
