Commissioners approve $141,825 pugmill purchase but postpone funding decision
Summary
The Burleson County Commissioners approved purchase of an Olympus Mini Hercules pugmill at $141,825 (plus $1,875 delivery) under a cooperative contract but postponed finalizing the funding until the next court meeting; other procurement and payment items were also approved.
Burleson County Commissioners on March 10 approved the purchase of an Olympus Mini Hercules pugmill under a TIPS-USA cooperative purchasing contract but delayed finalizing how the purchase will be funded until the next Commissioners Court.
Commissioner Dwayne Faust moved to approve the purchase and Commissioner Vincent Svec seconded; the minutes record a price of $141,825.00 with a $1,875 delivery charge. Court members voted unanimously to approve the purchase and to postpone the funding decision for the item until the next court meeting. Commissioner Svec asked whether other commissioners would be interested in contributing to the purchase; the minutes record the question but do not record any commitment of funds.
The Court also approved a payment to Travis Materials of Hearne for 3/8" pea gravel for Road & Bridge Precinct 2 after a motion by Commissioner David Hildebrand and second by Commissioner Robert "Bobby" Urbanosky. Several smaller procurement and contract items were approved during the same session, including an amendment increasing an existing Guardian RFID system agreement by $700 per year (bringing that annual total to $7,934, per Auditor Mynar).
The minutes show unanimous votes on these procurement items; the record does not specify the account lines or budgets that will cover the pugmill purchase and only postpones the funding decision to the next scheduled court meeting.
