Summary
The county authorized three fleet purchases: a Wirtgen WR240i soil stabilizer ($753,972.37), a used 2024 John Deere articulated haul truck ($601,102.41), and a 2025 Ford F-550 sign truck ($66,694) under cooperative purchasing agreements and existing procurement code exemptions.
Weld County commissioners on March 17 approved three separate fleet purchases to equip Public Works and Fleet Services.
Fleet staff recommended buying a 2025 Ford F-550 sign truck under the Colorado State pricing cooperative agreement (01/3819) for $66,694 to meet 2025 budgeted vehicle needs for Public Works maintenance support. The board voted to authorize the controller to sign required documents.
The county also approved purchase of a 2025 Wirtgen WR240i soil stabilizer for the Public Works pavement management division using a Sourcewell cooperative contract (060122) for a total price of $753,972.37. Staff cited Weld County code sections allowing cooperative purchasing and exemptions for items procured under state or federal cooperative contracts.
Separately, commissioners approved purchase of a used 2024 John Deere Tier 4 410P articulated haul truck for $601,102.41 to replace a leased unit, citing Weld County purchasing policy that permits acquisition of used equipment when appropriate.
All three motions were moved and seconded and adopted by voice vote. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes for these items.
