Commissioners approve low bids for two road‑department mulchers; transcript shows bid table ambiguity
Summary
The Coffee County Board unanimously approved awarding low bids for two mulchers for the road department, recording approval for NED Prinoth mulchers; the meeting transcript lists a lower skidsteer bid from Dobbs SEPPI in the packet but does not explain the selection. Procurement will proceed as approved.
The Coffee County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 7 unanimously approved awarding low bids for two mulchers for the road department and instructed staff to proceed with procurement.
County Administrator Wesley Vickers reviewed bid submissions. For the excavator‑mounted mulcher the lowest quoted vendor in the packet was NED Prinoth (M5500E‑1300) at $45,090.92. For the skidsteer‑mounted mulcher the packet listed several bids, including a Dobbs SEPPI cl175 at $39,000.00. Vickers recommended accepting the low bids.
Vice‑Chairman Jimmy Kitchens moved to approve the low bids for the NED Prinoth mulchers; Commissioner Johnny Wayne Jowers seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The transcript records approval "for the NED Prinoth mulchers," though the published bid table included a lower skidsteer price from Dobbs SEPPI; the record does not include an explanation for that discrepancy.
Next steps: the Road Department and county administration will issue purchase orders and complete procurement in line with the board's approval.
