Commissioners review three motor-grader lease bids; decision deferred for financial review
Summary
County staff presented three lease proposals for road equipment from Perry Brothers, John Deere and Caterpillar. Commissioners discussed quoted payments and purchase-option terms and asked staff for another day or two to finalize numbers; no award was made.
County staff presented three bids for a motor-grader lease from Perry Brothers, John Deere and Caterpillar and reviewed payment and purchase-option terms, but commissioners deferred a final decision.
Staff reported Perry Brothers submitted a single total price and did not break out monthly payments. The transcript records quoted monthly payments of about $39.30 for the John Deere bid and $39.73 for Caterpillar, but some of the total-price figures in the transcript were not clearly formatted. Staff explained the lease included a purchase option at the end of the term and discussed differences in payment timing (arrears vs. upfront payment to save interest).
Commissioners asked for time to 'crunch some numbers' and requested staff confirm financing details. No motion to award the contract was recorded; commissioners indicated they would review calculations and notify vendors.
