Lincoln County approves $32,624 purchase of two replacement snowplows
Summary
The board approved buying two 10-cubic-yard snowplows from Master Tech Truck and Equipment for $32,624 to replace worn units on tandem dump trucks.
The Lincoln County Board authorized the purchase of two replacement snowplows for 10-cubic-yard tandem dump trucks at a total price of $32,624. County highway staff recommended the purchase, saying the existing Monroe-brand plows are near the end of their service life and the recommended model will mount to existing trucks without adapters.
Jason Schultz, Lincoln County Highway Superintendent, presented quotes and a comparison of plow models. Staff recommended a Master Tech Truck and Equipment green Monroe plow that uses the county's existing linkages and mounts, avoiding adapter components and additional potential points of failure. Master Tech included a shipping discount for the purchase of two units.
A commissioner moved to approve the purchase; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll call with all five commissioners recorded as voting aye. The county confirmed funds were budgeted for the purchase.
The plows will be delivered and installed during the off‑snow season to allow time for adjustments before winter service.
