Commission gives county road superintendent authority to arrange hauling of three machines to dealer
Summary
Commission authorized Road Superintendent Wayne to find the best commercial option to haul three county machines back to the dealer (RDO) and to proceed within budget; motion passed by voice vote.
Griggs County commissioners authorized Road Superintendent Wayne on Sept. 22 to secure the best deal to haul three machines to the dealer (RDO/Moorhead store) and to proceed within available budget.
Commission discussion focused on options to have the county haul equipment internally or to contract a commercial hauler. Commissioners and road staff discussed estimated hauling costs; one estimate cited in the meeting was roughly $1,200 per trip for commercial hauling (three trips would total $3,600), while a county-haul alternative was described as potentially less expensively handled on a step-deck trailer if county staff could arrange it. Commissioners directed Wayne to call vendors for quotes and look for the best commercial rate; Wayne was given authority to proceed and select the vendor within budget.
The motion to give Wayne authority was moved and seconded and was approved by voice vote. Commissioners noted the county’s responsibility for any damage discovered on return and discussed potential liability for cracked windows or tire condition.
