County awards noxious-weed chemical purchase to Van D Supply; budgeted $90,000
Summary
The Board approved a bid award for the Saline County Noxious Weed Department chemical purchases for fiscal year 2025 (through March 2026). Staff recommended Van D Supply Company; the board approved the recommendation and recorded a budget impact of $90,000.
Saline County commissioners approved the noxious-weed department's recommended vendor for chemical purchases for fiscal year 2025 through March 2026 during their April 29 meeting.
David Flaherty, the county's Livestock and Expo director presenting the request, said two bids were received and staff recommended awarding the chemical bid to Van D Supply Company to ensure product delivery, labeling compliance and adherence to bid specifications. Flaherty said the department had switched vendors in 2024 because of repeated issues with another supplier and that the weed department experienced higher costs when reverting to a different supplier mid-year.
Flaherty reported the 2025 purchase is budgeted at $90,000; final expenditures will reflect actual quantities purchased through December 2025. Commissioners moved and seconded approval of RFA 2025-52 as presented; the motion passed by voice vote.
Ending: The record shows the board accepted the staff recommendation to award the contract to Van D Supply Company; the meeting transcript does not record additional performance conditions or amendments to the award.
