Nelson County Commissioners on Aug. 25, 2023, voted unanimously to accept Leading Edge Equipment’s bid for a 12-month tractor lease (400 hours for $10,800) and to purchase a Schulte front-mount snowblower from Butler Machinery for $24,992. The motions passed on separate roll-call votes with all five commissioners voting yes.
The board opened bids earlier in the meeting; Kevin Walford of Butler Machinery and Nathan Jutila of Leading Edge Equipment presented their respective proposals. Commissioner Aaron Mork moved to accept Leading Edge’s tractor lease and Commissioner Mike Haugland seconded the motion. Commissioner Cameron Swenson moved to accept Butler Machinery’s snowblower bid and Commissioner Steve Forde seconded that motion. Both motions carried on unanimous roll-call votes. The agenda item record indicates the tractor lease term is 12 months, limited to 400 hours, at a total lease cost of $10,800; the snowblower purchase price is recorded as $24,992.
The purchases are intended for county road/highway operations managed by the county highway office. The meeting minutes do not specify delivery dates, warranty details, funding source line items in the county budget, or expected in-service dates for the equipment. Those procurement details will be handled through county purchasing and vendor coordination.
