Commissioners approve purchase of 2027 Peterbilt truck amid highway bid reviews
Summary
Warren County commissioners approved buying a 2027 Peterbilt from Lobos for $243,241 from fund 4920, and discussed Community Crossing road bids and near-term pipe installations on multiple road sections.
Warren County commissioners voted to accept a 2027 Peterbilt truck bid from Lobos for $243,241, the board was told at its April 6 meeting. Chair (S1) read the motion: “Motion is, you had a 2027 Peterbilt from Lobos for $243,241 out of fund 4920.” Commissioner (S7) moved to accept the bid and Presenter (S8) seconded; the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
The highway superintendent (Agency official S9) told commissioners crews will begin installing approximately 10 pipes in three separate areas in the coming weeks. Commissioners discussed bid comparability across vendors, noting one Peterbilt bid was higher because that model previously took two years to deliver and the county had accepted what was available. Commissioner (S7) said the Lebo bid matched specifications and recommended awarding if it met the board’s apples-to-apples comparison.
Separately, commissioners reviewed Community Crossing bids for multiple road sections (a package tied to Reese Riley was discussed) and agreed to take the larger package “under advisement,” requesting the full scanned bid packet before final action. The board did not make final awards on those road-section bids at the meeting.
What’s next: county staff will assemble and circulate the full bid packages and documentation for formal award at a future meeting; the approved Peterbilt purchase will proceed from fund 4920 per the board’s voice vote.
