Dodge County reviews sanitation equipment, used-truck prices; decision deferred to airport work session
Summary
County Manager Conner Bearden presented dumpster and used-truck options after a garbage truck went out of commission, listing container and truck prices; the board deferred a purchasing decision to the May 21 work session at the airport.
County Manager Conner Bearden told the Dodge County Board of Commissioners on May 5 that one of the sanitation department’s garbage trucks is out of commission and presented options and estimated costs for maintaining dumpster service and replacing or acquiring trucks.
Bearden provided container-price estimates: a 30-yard roll-off at $5,095, a 40-yard roll-off at $6,195 and an 8-cubic-yard dumpster at $1,100. He also presented used truck options with makes, mileages and asking prices, including an Isuzu NPR (96,329 miles) listed at $60,000; a Mack TE64 (95,430 miles) at $75,000; a Freightliner M2 (218,073 miles) at $54,995; and other used trucks with prices reported up to $119,900.
The board did not approve a purchase that night. Instead, commissioners agreed to continue the discussion at a work session scheduled for May 21 at the county airport. No formal procurement motion or vote was recorded in the meeting minutes excerpt.
