Oak Hill approves $35,059 towable man lift for public works using ARPA funds
Summary
Public works director presented bids for a towable man lift; commissioners approved buying a 35‑foot JLG unit (approx. $35,059, tax excluded) to support tree trimming, banner work and drainage repairs, funded from ARPA allotment.
The commission authorized Public Works to purchase a towable man lift (JLG model) at approximately $35,059 (government contract price, tax excluded) to provide the city with lift capability for overhead trimming, banners and other maintenance tasks.
Public Works Director Travis Allen presented three bids and recommended the JLG through the government contract vendor Everglades Equipment; he said the 35‑foot reach would meet the city's needs and training would be provided by vendors. Commissioners discussed horizontal reach and mobility and determined the selected machine fit operational requirements and left sufficient funds in the ARPA budget for other planned purchases.
A motion to buy the JLG unit was made and seconded and passed by roll call; staff confirmed the purchase will come from ARPA funds so it does not impact the general fund.
What happens next: Public Works will finalize procurement, schedule vendor training, and integrate the lift into routine maintenance operations.
