County rejects over‑budget wheel‑loader bid, will rebid
Summary
Williams County rejected a single-wheel-loader bid from RDO at $272,000 as over budget and directed county highway staff to rebid the procurement.
Williams County highway staff recommended rejecting a single bid for a used wheel loader that exceeded the project budget. Dennis (county highway) reported RDO submitted the lone bid at $272,000, which county staff said is over budget and recommended rejecting the bid and rebidding the purchase.
A commissioner moved to reject the bid and rebid; the motion passed on roll call. Commissioners did not direct staff to a maximum budget figure during the meeting; staff will coordinate a new solicitation.
The action recorded the county's intent to seek additional bids rather than accept an over‑budget single offer. No vendor contract was awarded.
