Fiscal court OKs auction of county roll‑off trucks and moves to bid county fuel
Summary
The court approved sending three roll‑off trucks (two 2024 Volvos, one 2023 Mac) to auction in September and approved soliciting bids for financing and for county-delivered bulk fuel for fiscal year 2025; staff noted the need for contract language to address fuel-price variance.
Solid‑waste director Jacob told the court the county plans to auction three roll‑off trucks at the JM Woods auction in Montgomery, Alabama, in September and asked for court approval to both auction the trucks and to solicit financing bids. Jacob said the county currently has "2 2024 Volvos, and we have 1 2023 Mac." The court moved, seconded and approved the auction and the financing bid.
Jacob and other officials discussed auction timing; Jacob said the Volvos had previously sold for less than expected at auction. The court also approved a separate motion to solicit bids for county‑delivered bulk fuel for fiscal year 2025, following audit recommendations that bulk fuel purchases be handled through a year‑long bid and contract. The presiding official noted the need to write contract language to allow for price variances and adjustments (for example, quarterly price adjustments tied to defined thresholds).
The meeting record shows motions were made, seconded and recorded as "Motion carries" for both the vehicle auction/financing and the bid for delivered fuel. No specific bid awards or financing vendors were selected at the meeting.
