Court approves EMS purchases: two-post lift and brake lathe awarded to local vendors
Summary
The Fiscal Court approved two EMS equipment purchases recommended by EMS Director Mike Rogers: a two-post lift to Smith Garage for $22,710.97 and a brake lathe to Vint Tire Distributors for $18,072.81. Installation timing and delivery lead times were discussed.
The Boyle County Fiscal Court on March 25 approved two equipment purchases for Emergency Medical Services after the EMS director presented three bids for each item.
Mike Rogers recommended the low bid for a two-post lift from Smith Garage at $22,710.97, noting the item will be installed in the county’s new building on North Stevener Lane and that there is a multi-month delivery lead time.
Rogers also presented three quotes for a brake lathe and recommended Vint Tire Distributors at $18,072.81. Magistrates approved both purchases by voice vote.
Why it matters: Rogers said the brake lathe will reduce future maintenance costs by allowing the county to resurface rotors rather than replace them, which is particularly helpful for newer vehicle models with expensive rotors.
Details and next steps: Both purchases were budgeted items; installation and delivery timelines were discussed and Rogers said he expected the two-post lift to be installed after the new facility is ready. Specific warranty or maintenance-service arrangements will follow standard county procurement procedures.
Ending: The court approved the two bids and authorized staff to proceed with purchase and scheduling of installation.
