Commissioners authorize advertising for four new sheriff vehicles
Summary
Martin County Commissioners voted 3-0 to authorize advertising for bids on four new sheriff response vehicles with specifications and two trade‑ins; bids are due March 20, 2026 and will be opened March 24 in commissioners’ court.
Martin County Commissioner’s Court voted Feb. 24 to advertise bids for four new vehicles for the Martin County Sheriff’s Department, including two white police responder pickup 4x4 short beds with 3.5‑liter V6 EcoBoost engines and 10‑speed transmissions and light kits, one black 4x4 short bed police responder pickup with equipment, and one 4x4 SUV police responder with a 5.3‑liter V8 and red/blue flasher system. Commissioner Kenny Stewart moved the measure and Commissioner Auggie Ramos seconded; the vote was 3‑0 in favor.
The court set the bid deadline for March 20, 2026 with proposals to be opened on March 24 in commissioners’ court. The motion records two trade‑ins as part of the procurement plan; detailed bid specifications and trade‑in terms are on file in the clerk’s office. The authorization covers advertising only and does not represent a final purchase until bids are opened and acted on.
