Custer County approves purchase of used roller and two motor graders for road maintenance
Summary
The Custer County Board of Supervisors approved purchase of a 2020 CAT CW16 pneumatic roller for $97,700 and two used motor graders—a 2018 CAT 12 M3 for $160,000 and a 2020 CAT 140-15 for $235,000—from NMC, after a presentation by highway staff.
The Custer County Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 24 to purchase three used pieces of highway equipment from NMC to support road maintenance operations. Highway Superintendent Chris Jacobsen and Assistant Highway Superintendent Nick Olson presented the options and recommended purchases.
By roll call vote the board approved buying a 2020 CAT CW16 pneumatic roller (620 hours) from NMC for $97,700 (motion by Supervisor Markham, seconded by Supervisor Longmore). The board also approved two used motor graders from NMC: a 2018 CAT 12 M3 with 3,828 hours for $160,000 and a 2020 CAT 140-15 with 2,133 hours for $235,000 (same motioners). All motions passed with ayes from those present.
The purchases were presented as special purchase options; no alternate vendors were recorded in the transcript. Officials discussed prospective grant funding for recycling in a separate item earlier in the meeting but did not link grants to these equipment purchases. The board approved the transactions as part of routine county capital acquisition procedures.
The next procedural steps recorded were standard: the clerk will process purchase orders and effect payment per county procurement rules. The meeting record does not show further technical specifications or a public comment period on the purchases.
