Hubbard County OKs Komatsu loader purchase for South Transfer Station
Summary
The board approved a low quote from RMS for a Komatsu WA328 loader for the South Transfer Station in Park Rapids, to be funded from the county capital account; voice vote approved the purchase after staff outlined intended uses and contract sourcing.
The Hubbard County Board approved a purchase for a replacement loader at the South Transfer Station in Park Rapids on Feb. 17.
Solid Waste staff recommended selecting the low quote from RMS for a Komatsu WA328, describing the machine’s primary uses as moving demolition materials, concrete shingles, snow, brush and mulch at the transfer station. The purchase was budgeted in the county’s capital account for equipment replacement.
Commissioners asked about onboard scales and replacement timelines; staff said the county uses the transfer-station platform scale and that loaders are depreciated over roughly 15 years in the capital plan. A commissioner moved to approve the low quote; a second was given and the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
The board recorded the motion as passed and thanked staff and the presenter. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
