County Approves Purchase of Two Truck Chassis; Delivery and Snow‑equipment Timelines Discussed
Summary
Commissioners approved buying two truck chassis (about $160,000 each) to support road work; staff warned of long supplier lead times, with chassis built late in the year and snow-equipment installation likely 14 months out.
Staff presented a request to purchase two truck chassis (Mack chassis via a local dealer) at approximately $160,000 apiece, citing a roughly 10% price increase since the last purchase in December 2023. Presenter (Speaker 8) told the board that chassis production would likely occur late in the year with delivery in January or February 2027 and that snow‑equipment suppliers are roughly 14 months out for installation.
One commissioner noted another jurisdiction recently ordered similar trucks and asked whether the county could coordinate equipment installation to speed delivery. Presenter (Speaker 8) said he would follow up with details and suppliers. A motion to approve the quoted purchase (totaling approximately $320,940.02 for two chassis) was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners discussed state net pricing and supplier scheduling; staff will return with final vendor paperwork and delivery schedule.
