Crawford County authorizes purchase of three skid-steer loaders from Foley Cat
Summary
The commission voted to order three skid-steer loaders (one per district) from Foley Cat, assigning district-specific attachments and approving payment from reserves and lease-purchase funds; commissioners discussed pricing, attachments and possible extended warranties.
Crawford County commissioners authorized the purchase of three skid-steer loaders from Foley Cat during a March 2025 meeting, allocating different attachments per district and agreeing to a mix of reserve funds and lease-purchase financing.
Commissioners reviewed three bids with differing prices and configurations; one quoted price referenced in the record was $89,445. After discussion about which district would receive which attachments (grapple/grama bucket, standard bucket, forklift/ forks), a commissioner moved to order the three machines, with the plan to pay one machine from the Equipment Reserve Fund and fund the remainder via lease-purchase as needed. The chairman was instructed to sign procurement documents when they were ready.
The board discussed warranties and the potential to add extended warranties after delivery; staff will coordinate serial-number tracking and insurance once the units arrive. The transcript records a motion to proceed and subsequent confirmation that signatures would be obtained and paperwork filed.
No detailed roll-call vote with member names and individual tallies was recorded in the transcript for this item; the transcript indicates the motion carried and that staff were to follow up on delivery and insurance steps.
