Dallas County approves wheel loader and three pickup trucks for Secondary Roads
Summary
The board authorized Secondary Roads to buy a Case 821G wheel loader from Titan Machinery for $303,800 and three new pickup trucks from Karl Chevrolet (quoted total $157,297.40). Bids from Volvo and Cat were considered; staff recommended the lower-cost Case and Karl Chevrolet trucks.
Dallas County Secondary Roads presented vendor bids May 26 and the Board authorized two procurement actions.
Wheel loader: Department staff compared three responsive bids: Titan Machinery (Case 821G) at $303,800; Rudd Equipment (Volvo L110H) at $325,701; and Ziegler (Cat 950) at $367,110. The department recommended acceptance of Titan Machinery’s Case 821G; Resolution 2026-0071 authorizes the purchase and directs the Chair to sign contract and warranty documents.
Pickup trucks: For replacement of units #2, #11 and #108 the department solicited quotes from Karl Chevrolet, Ram, and Stivers Ford. The packet includes detailed dealer quotes; staff recommended Karl Chevrolet’s three-vehicle package (three Chevy Silverados) at a combined price listed in the bid materials (Karl Chevrolet totals presented in packet). Resolution 2026-0072 authorizes the purchase and execution of purchase agreements and warranties.
Procurement notes: Secondary Roads staff documented comparison quotes and recommended the lowest responsive bidders that met specifications. The meeting packet includes vendor quotes and Sourcewell/contract pricing sheets for heavy equipment.
Next steps: Purchasing staff will finalize purchase agreements and schedule vehicle delivery; equipment will enter service as Secondary Roads replaces aged units.
