Commissioners clarify and approve road equipment purchases after vendor corrects model and price
Loading...
Summary
The board approved two separate equipment purchases for road operations: a corrected purchase agreement for a John Deere 6-wheel-drive motor grader (model 672P — paperwork amended on the record) and a 2025 Caterpillar 275C3H skid steer loader for District 3 via the county machinery revolving fund.
Commissioners approved county road equipment purchases on Oct. 27 after staff and the vendor clarified machine models and pricing. Mike Marshall of Yellow House Machinery told the board the form previously filed listed a John Deere 670P but that the intended purchase is a 672P 6-wheel-drive motor grader; staff prepared corrected paperwork and the board amended the motion on the record to reflect the corrected model and updated price.
Chairman recorded that staff would prepare a new purchase order and updated agreement so the contract submitted to ODOT and the revolving-fund administrator matches the amended motion. The board’s amendment to the motion was approved by roll call.
Separately, the board approved a District 3 purchase of a 2025 Caterpillar 275C3H skid steer loader via the County Road Machinery and Equipment Revolving Fund; that motion passed by roll call as presented and included a funding deadline referenced in the agenda packet.
The vendor clarified the price and model on the record and the board instructed staff to complete corrected paperwork and purchase orders before vendor submission. The motions recorded the model and price corrections and the board authorized staff to sign the corrected documents.
