Council approves $8,399 purchase of Iron Bull trailer for city equipment
Summary
Rockwell council approved buying an Iron Bull equipment trailer for $8,399, selecting it over a slightly higher-priced H&H option because of included features; the council also discussed creating a rental agreement for the city’s speed-sign trailer.
The Rockwell City Council voted to purchase an Iron Bull equipment trailer at a cost of $8,399.
Council members reviewed two quotes presented by staff (an H&H trailer at $8,619 and an Iron Bull at $8,399). Staff noted the Iron Bull’s front toolbox and perceived sturdiness as deciding factors. Abby moved to approve the Iron Bull purchase; the motion was seconded by Tracy and carried unanimously.
Separately, councilors discussed a proposed rental agreement for the city’s speed-sign trailer. Members suggested a simple fee structure — for example, $10 per day or $100 per week — plus a $25 delivery fee when the city delivers the unit. Council asked staff to draft a short rental agreement outlining fees, delivery, and insurance/ liability expectations so neighboring towns can request the trailer.
