County reviews single bid for landfill roll‑off truck; bid taken under advisement
Summary
Rosebud County commissioners heard a single $254,002.14 bid from TransSource Truck and Equipment for a landfill roll‑off truck, heard the vendor explain two transmission options that could affect driver eligibility, and voted to take the bid under advisement for two weeks.
Rosebud County commissioners on Tuesday reviewed a single bid from TransSource Truck and Equipment for a landfill roll‑off truck and voted to take the proposal under advisement for two weeks.
Jay Leishner, the TransSource company representative, told the commissioners the bid offered two transmission choices: a 13‑speed manual that meets the written specification, and a MAC EmDrive automated manual transmission. "MAC has a very good transmission," Leishner said. "It's a mirror of the Volvo I‑Shift. . . . You're not burning out clutches all the time." He said the automated manual option "opens the door for additional drivers without the restriction of a manual transmission on their CDL."
The Chair read the bid amount as $254,002.14 and identified TransSource Truck and Equipment as the bidder and Leishner as the company representative. The Chair also indicated an expected delivery timeframe after receipt of the order; the transcript of that timing was unclear and the exact delivery window was not specified in the record.
After discussion, the commissioners moved and seconded a motion to take the bid under advisement for two weeks; the board recorded aye votes and the motion carried. The county did not award the contract at the meeting and said it would revisit the bid after the two‑week advisement period.
