Commissioners approve $52,003.50 UTV purchase for buildings & grounds citing stock availability
Summary
Commissioners approved the buildings and grounds department's purchase of a Kubota UTV with attachments at $52,003.50, noting the higher bid was in stock and could be delivered sooner than the lower priced option.
Grant County commissioners approved the buildings and grounds department's request to buy a Kubota UTV with multiple attachments at a reported price of $52,003.50.
The maintenance department presented two quotes: one approximately $50,965 and another approximately $52,350. Commissioners and staff discussed availability; the higher bid was in stock and available sooner. Commissioner Pulling moved to accept the higher-priced, in‑stock unit; Commissioner Stewart seconded the motion, and commissioners approved it by voice vote.
During debate, staff said funds were available in the CCD budget and suggested accounting for attachments separately as equipment line items to ease payment processing. The motion noted the county could still pursue a price match if the other vendor could meet availability needs. The purchase was approved at the meeting; procurement and payment will follow department procedures.
