Commissioners opt for interim Bomag compactor service by Foley, defer longer contract
Summary
After comparing two Bomag compactor service agreements, the board had Foley perform the first service and decided county shop staff will handle scheduled maintenance until July; commissioners will revisit long-term service contracts then.
County Road Department representative Sheldon presented two service-agreement proposals for the Bomag compactor. Foley quoted $3,787.77 per service for 12 services (3,000 hours); Berry Tractor proposed a $40,430.14 price for a 24‑month/2,000‑hour agreement. Rather than committing to a long‑term contract, commissioners agreed Foley would perform the initial service and the county shop crew would perform scheduled maintenance through July, after which the board will reconsider external service agreements.
No formal vote on awarding a long‑term contract was recorded in the minutes; the action recorded was a direction to try Foley for the initial service and to have staff handle routine maintenance for the near term. The minutes do not specify warranty terms or the expected date of the Foley service.
