Appling County approves purchase of Freightliner dump truck deemed FEMA‑eligible
Summary
The commission awarded a purchase to Freightliner of Savannah for a dump truck at $178,400, selecting the lowest of three quotes and noting the purchase meets FEMA time‑frame guidelines for potential reimbursement.
The Appling County Commission approved the purchase of a Freightliner dump truck from Freightliner of Savannah for $178,400, selecting that bid as the lowest of three quotes obtained by county staff.
County staff said they solicited multiple quotes and narrowed three competitive offers: Worldwide Equipment Enterprises ($199,939), Freightliner of Savannah ($178,400) and MHC Kenworth/Blav ($204,551.75). Staff recommended the Freightliner unit because it matches the county’s existing fleet and meets the county’s horsepower and load needs.
Staff also stated the purchase falls within FEMA guidelines and time frame for reimbursement. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the purchase unanimously.
No vendor contract details, delivery timelines beyond “in stock” availability, or trade‑in information were provided at the meeting; staff said delivery could be faster because one unit was in stock.
