Commission tables bids for used day cab tractors pending bids for new tractors
Summary
Bids for two used day cab tractors were opened from GTG Peterbilt and Mac Kenworth, but commissioners voted unanimously to table the used-tractor awards and request bids for new tractors for comparison.
At 9:15 a.m. the commission opened bids for two used day cab tractors; bids included three from GTG Peterbilt of Great Bend and five from Mac Kenworth of Salina. Commissioner Dean Haselhorst said he would like staff to also obtain bids for new tractors. After discussion, Duke Strobel moved to table the used-tractor bids until bids for new tractors are available; Steve Reinhardt seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Commissioners expressed differing views about budgetary capacity: Haselhorst and Reinhardt favored obtaining new-tractor bids, while Strobel and Jason Krug questioned whether the county could afford new equipment. No final award was made and the bids remain tabled pending additional procurement information.
