Pine Bluff council approves $153,218.28 street-equipment purchase using 2025 carryover funds
Summary
The council approved a resolution authorizing the Street Department to buy a John Deere tractor and a flex-wing rotary cutter through Sourcewell procurement, to be paid from 2025 carryover funds appropriated for 2026; the transcript records a total cost of $153,218.28.
The Pine Bluff City Council on June 1 adopted a resolution authorizing the Street Department to purchase equipment from Greenway Equipment Inc. of Bryant, Arkansas, using the Sourcewell procurement process and funds carried over from 2025 and appropriated for 2026. Council materials list a John Deere 6110M cab tractor and a John Deere FC15R flex-wing rotary cutter; the total cost recorded in the council materials and read into the record was $153,218.28.
During discussion, Council Member Mayes urged that the city keep maintenance up to date so equipment remains serviceable. Staff noted the Street Department employs two diesel mechanics. The council moved, seconded, and adopted the resolution by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Clarifying detail: the transcript gives a clear total of $153,218.28 and an item price for the cutter ($29,421.12). The tractor line in the transcript contains a garbled numeric string and did not provide an unambiguous price; the article therefore reports the tractor model and the total purchase price but does not assert an exact tractor price beyond what the city documents may supply.
Funding and procurement: the council cited Sourcewell as the authorized procurement process that avoids separate competitive bidding and noted the purchase will use 2025 carryover funds already appropriated for 2026.
The resolution was adopted; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
