Levy County selects local vendor for two replacement commercial mowers
Summary
Levy County approved replacing two 13-year-old commercial mowers and selected Lane's Hardware (Williston) as the lowest local bidder after staff presented three quotes.
Levy County commissioners approved the purchase of two replacement commercial lawn mowers from a local vendor after staff presented three competitive quotes.
Staff reported three local bids: Lane's Hardware at approximately $13,539.20, Lee County Saw Shop at $14,939.07, and a third local tractor vendor at $14,629. The board noted the purchase replaces two 13-year-old mowers and praised maintenance staff for seeking local bids, with one commissioner pointing out that Lane's Hardware was about $800 below the state contract price.
A motion to purchase the mowers from Lane's Hardware in Williston was made and seconded. The board voted in favor by voice vote and the motion passed.
The meeting did not record plans for the disposition of the old mowers beyond a staff remark that they would likely go to auction unless parts could be salvaged; staff member Jesse Roberts said he would examine them.
The board moved on to the next agenda item after the vote.
