Uintah County awards $385,909 boom mower to single responsive bidder for flood-channel maintenance
Summary
The Uintah County Commission approved awarding a purchase order for a boom mower and attachments to ATMX Equipment Company after receiving one responsive bid totaling $385,909.54; commissioners said the machine will be used mainly on flood channels and roads.
Uintah County commissioners voted Dec. 9 to award the purchase of a boom mower and attachments to ATMX Equipment Company after the county received a single responsive bid.
Trina Gardner of the county's Purchasing and Grants Department told commissioners the IFB produced one compliant bid from ATMX for $385,909.54, and she asked the commission to approve the purchase. "The total bid amount is $385,909.54," Gardner said.
Commissioners discussed the purpose and logistics for the equipment. One commissioner said the machine will be used primarily on county flood channels and also by the road department. The apparatus described in the bid includes a 30-foot boom arm, rotary cutting deck, mulching and saw-blade attachments, a grapple, a front hydraulic lift arm and a wood chipper; Gardner said the bid includes shipping to the county.
An unidentified commissioner moved to award the purchase as presented; the motion was approved by voice vote. Commissioners said the purchase is intended to improve maintenance of drainage infrastructure and roads.
The purchase was awarded as a single-source result of the IFB process producing one responsive bid. The record does not indicate alternative funding sources or whether the purchase was part of a previously approved capital plan; commissioners did not provide a detailed funding breakdown during the meeting.
The commission proceeded to the next agenda item after the vote.
