Cloud County to move forward with $164,560 motor grader purchase
Summary
Foley Equipment quoted a 2019 120M motor grader at $164,560 after trade; the board agreed to buy the grader and an estimated $11,000 extended warranty for two years/2,000 hours.
Casey Fraser of Foley Equipment presented the Cloud County Board of Commissioners with a quote for a 2019 120M 2AWD motor grader priced at $164,560 after the county’s trade-in of a 1989 120G Caterpillar. The board agreed to move forward with the purchase and accepted an estimated $11,000 cost for an extended two-year/2,000-hour warranty.
The presentation came during routine business on Jan. 20, when Highway/Weed Administrator Rod Michaud also briefed commissioners on recent bridge work and local road projects. Michaud said crews finished work on the Istas Bridge, removed trees, hauled rock and proposed overlay work this summer on 4th Street and on 150th Road south of the Catholic Cemetery in Concordia. Michaud and Bridge Foreman Eric Wilson also discussed crane procedures and training; the board said it wanted employees enrolled in the Road Scholars program to advance training levels.
The grader purchase and warranty will be part of the county’s equipment replacement and road-maintenance plans; county staff did not present a recorded roll-call vote for the purchase in the transcript, only that the board agreed to proceed after the quote was presented. The county did not specify financing details or delivery timing during the meeting.
Next steps: county staff will proceed with the purchase process and finalize warranty terms; the board did not record a formal ordinance or resolution specific to this equipment purchase in the meeting record.
