Summary

Property management presented a request to replace a 2004 Ford F-250; the lowest bidder (Koch Ford) requested additional terms at delivery prompting the county to accept the next lowest quote for a 2025 Chevy Silverado from Jennings. Commissioners approved the purchase.

Property management told the board that a county 2004 Ford F-250 is in poor condition and requested approval to replace it. Staff said the county solicited quotes under an existing purchasing agreement (CoStars), and the lowest quote — from Koch Ford — required additional terms at delivery that were not part of the CoStars contract; after consulting the solicitor, staff declined to accept delivery under those altered terms.

Staff recommended, and commissioners approved, purchasing a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado from Jennings (the second-lowest quote). A commissioner noted the purchase benefits a local company. The board moved, seconded and approved the purchase by voice vote.

No contract number or additional procurement details were recorded in the transcript; staff said they followed CoStars pricing and consulted the solicitor when vendor terms changed.
