Hooker County accepts $80,000 bid for 2000 Caterpillar scraper and consigns 2001 machine
Summary
The board accepted Brennemann Contracting LLC’s $80,000 sealed bid for a 2000 Caterpillar 613 C scraper and received a consignment agreement to consign the road department’s 2001 Caterpillar 613 C scraper to Nebraska Machinery Company; both actions were approved by unanimous vote.
Hooker County commissioners accepted a sealed bid and completed two pieces of road‑equipment business during their June 11 meeting.
At 3:35 p.m. the board opened a single sealed bid for a 2000 Caterpillar 613 C scraper from Brennemann Contracting, LLC. Commissioner Thad Emerson moved to accept Brennemann’s bid of $80,000; Chairman Bryan Crisp seconded and a roll call vote was three ayes, carrying the motion.
Separately, the board acknowledged a consignment agreement consigning the county’s 2001 Caterpillar 613 C scraper to Nebraska Machinery Company for sale or consignment terms. Road Supervisor John Copland presented the equipment items to the board as part of regular fleet turnover and equipment management.
Why it matters: Acceptance of the bid completes the county's disposal of the 2000 scraper and the consignment initiates sale processes for the 2001 unit; such equipment moves affect road‑department capacity and county asset inventories. The board did not discuss detailed consignment terms at length; contract paperwork and sale logistics will follow.
