Supervisors authorize purchase of 2025 four‑wheel‑drive ambulance for Storchville station
Summary
The Board approved purchasing a 2025 International 4x4 ambulance to replace the unit at Storchville station; county staff said the vehicle is part of the apparatus replacement plan, delivery would take about two years and the purchase came in roughly $30,000 under budget.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors authorized the purchase of a 2025 International four‑wheel‑drive ambulance intended to replace the ambulance at the Storchville station.
County presenter Blankenship said the apparatus is a medium‑duty chassis with a heavier suspension and that the purchase was included in the county’s apparatus replacement plan. Blankenship told the board the new unit would likely arrive in about two years “barring no catastrophic events with any of our units.” He also said the purchase came in approximately $30,000 under the budgeted amount.
A motion to authorize the purchase was made by Supervisor Bainsley and seconded by Supervisor Sharp. The roll call recorded in the transcript lists yes votes from Supervisor Davis, Supervisor Sharp, Supervisor Parker, Supervisor Bainsley, Mr. Cook, Supervisor Johnson and the chair; the chair announced the motion carried.
The transcript does not record the contract price, vendor name, funding source or a delivery contract; Blankenship said the purchase was approved in the county’s apparatus replacement plan and estimated a two‑year lead time.
