Scott County staff recommend buying a 2026 Ford Ranger to replace a 2010 Planning & Development pickup
Summary
County staff recommended the board approve replacement of a Planning & Development pickup with a 2026 Ford Ranger under the Iowa DAS contract for $39,624; FY26 budgeted $50,000 so funds are available.
Scott County staff presented a recommendation Dec. 2 to replace a Planning & Development pickup and said a new 2026 Ford Ranger 4x4 XL is the best value under the state contract.
The presentation described the outgoing vehicle as a 2010 Ford F-150 (asset 13 45) with approximately 102,000 miles. Staff said fleet services evaluated repurposing higher-mileage vehicles and that a used-market search within a 200-mile radius showed comparable used Ranger-style pickups priced from about $23,000 to $38,000 with no clear savings over a new vehicle. The recommended purchase price from Divers Ford under the Iowa DAS vehicle contract catalog is $39,624, and the FY26 budget includes $50,000 for the replacement, leaving budget capacity.
The board asked for questions; staff indicated no additional procurement issues and the presenter completed the recommendation without a final vote recorded in the provided segments.
