Commissioners approve $65,575 purchase of Stryker power‑load system for county EMS unit
Summary
The board approved buying a Stryker-compatible auto-load power-procurement for an ambulance remount at $65,575.34, funded from FY26 EMS equipment budget; staff said the device will standardize the fleet so all three units have the auto-load system.
Meriwether County commissioners approved the purchase of a Stryker-compatible auto-load system for an ambulance remount at a cost of $65,575.34, to be funded from the FY26 EMS equipment lease and maintenance budget.
Staff said the unit being remounted was involved in an accident and the new 2026 chassis has been delivered; the county will remount the box and install the auto-load system so the three front-line units all have the same power-load equipment. Two quotes were obtained: Custom Truck & Body Works for $65,005.75 (reported in staff remarks) and Stryker direct for $72,008.51; staff recommended the Custom Truck & Body Works quote as the more cost-effective option. The board discussed warranty differences and confirmed both quotes specified Stryker 6507 Power Pro equipment; a commissioner said Stryker offers a longer warranty.
A motion to approve the purchase from Custom Truck & Body Works for $65,575.34 passed on voice vote; the transcript records the motion, a second and "all in favor," but no roll-call tally appears in the excerpt.
