County eyes $63,000 one‑ton pickup under special‑market rules to save $10,000
Summary
Public Services told commissioners staff found a brand‑new 2024 one‑ton Chevy crew cab outside state contract listed at $63,000—about $10,000 less than the state‑contracted 2026 model—and asked permission to buy it under special‑market conditions.
Mike Moss told the board staff located a 2024 Chevy one‑ton crew cab in Idaho priced at $63,000 and asked the commissioners to approve purchase under the county’s special‑market‑conditions procurement process. He said the vehicle is new, comes with factory warranties and would save the county about $10,000 compared with the state‑contracted 2026 model priced near $73,000.
Moss said the replacement was budgeted during last year’s budget hearings and that no order had yet been placed for the 2026 model. He offered to retrieve the vehicle from Boise himself and asked the board for approval to proceed; commissioners signaled agreement. Staff did not finalize a purchase during the meeting.
