Stevens County board approves public‑safety and fleet contracts, and orders a Mack tandem truck
Summary
The board approved technology contracts that include Axon equipment and awarded a road equipment purchase (Mack tandem truck for $165,005.36) plus a recommended extended warranty; staff also authorized advertising for County Project 2026‑01.
County commissioners approved several procurement items including a consolidated technology contract and a new tandem truck for public‑works operations.
Staff presented a consolidated bundle that includes Axon equipment (body cameras, tasers and related services) and said the 10‑year average would create savings compared with separate contracts. The board voted to approve the Axon contract and directed staff to obtain signed copies and final contract documents.
Public works engineer Todd Morrison requested permission to advertise County Project 2026‑01 (aggregate‑based resurfacing on CSAH 82059) and the board authorized advertising using State Aid maintenance dollars.
On fleet, staff recommended purchase of a Mack tandem truck from Neustruks at $165,005.36 (2027 budget purchase) and provided warranty options ranging from a 60‑month to an 84‑month package. Mechanics recommended the 72‑month (seven‑year) extended warranty at an additional cost; the board approved both the vehicle purchase and the recommended extended warranty.
The board also approved related intergovernmental agreements and contract contingencies for multi‑county procurements. Staff will return signed contracts and finalize warranty paperwork.
