Board approves $46,262 purchase of one-ton F-350 for district maintenance
Summary
The board approved the purchase of a 2024 Ford Super Duty F-350 XL for $46,262 from Courtesy Ford, funded from the vehicle maintenance depreciation fund; warranty and fleet status were discussed.
The Norfolk Public Schools Board of Education approved the purchase of a 2024 Super Duty F-350 XL from Courtesy Ford for $46,262, by a 6-0 vote.
Eric Wilson, presenting the facilities and transportation needs, told the board the maintenance division needed a one-ton truck for pushing snow, hauling equipment and pulling trailers. Courtesy Ford matched the state-purchasing contract price of $46,262; Wilson recommended using funds from the vehicle maintenance depreciation fund to buy the truck, which the board approved.
Board member Steve McNally moved the motion and Dr. Patty Goebbels seconded it; the board recorded a 6-0 vote in favor. Board members asked about fleet size and warranty. Wilson said the district was down two trucks from prior inventory — one lost in an accident, one sold — and that comparable truck warranties run three years or 36,000 miles.
The purchase was authorized with those funding and warranty terms recorded in the meeting; the board did not attach additional conditions in the public record.
