Claiborne County approves fitness-trail contract, accepts road manager's dump-truck recommendation
Summary
The board awarded a $92,800 contract for a multipurpose fitness trail to Wildstone Construction Services and later accepted the road department's recommendation to purchase large tri-axle dump trucks with a $214,000 price and a $175,000 three-year buyback option; final financing and specifications will be attached to the minutes.
Claiborne County supervisors voted Sept. 2 to award a contract for a multipurpose fitness trail to Wildstone Construction Services LLC for $92,800 following a bid opening and staff recommendation. County staff reported three bids ranging from $92,800 to $97,700 and recommended Wildstone as the lowest responsive bidder.
The board also heard a county-road-department recommendation on heavy-duty tri-axle dump trucks. Staff opened a single bid described at a purchase price of $214,000 per unit with a three-year buyback price of $175,000; immediate delivery was offered contingent on county financing. Because the county finance contact was not present at the initial bid opening, staff suggested taking the single bid under advisement. Later in the meeting, the road manager presented specifications for 24-yard dump trucks and the board voted to accept the road department's recommendation and attach the vendor description to the minutes for the official record.
Both purchases were approved by voice vote without detailed roll-call tallies. Supervisors emphasized that truck delivery and final purchase depend on completed finance approvals and that the detailed vendor descriptions and purchase terms will be included in the meeting minutes. No ordinance or long-term contract terms were discussed at the meeting.
