Fair board approves purchase of Bobcat mower, citing local service and price
Summary
After reviewing three bids for new mowers, the Ripley County Fair Board voted to purchase a 2025 Bobcat model from All Good Power, noting local service availability and a modest price difference motivated the selection.
The Ripley County Fair Board approved buying a 2025 Bobcat mower from All Good Power after reviewing three bids for replacement mowers. Staff presented quotes for John Deere models, Grasshopper models and a Bobcat ZT616; the Bobcat quote and local dealer proximity led the board to favor that vendor.
Rachel moved to purchase the Bobcat mower from All Good Power and a second was recorded; the board approved the motion by voice vote. Members noted the Bobcat dealer is local and therefore likely to simplify service and parts availability, and the price differential with other options was not large enough to outweigh that operational convenience.
No financing details or replacement schedule were included in the meeting discussion; staff was directed to proceed with procurement under the approved motion.
