County approves purchase of dually LT pickup for road fleet at about $61,098
Summary
After considering multiple dealer quotes and the state bid schedule, commissioners approved purchasing a dually LT from Smith's for approximately $61,098 and discussed fleet needs, plow harnesses and disposal of an older Dodge.
Jefferson County commissioners approved procurement of a new dually LT pickup for the road fleet from a local dealer following a discussion of quotes, in-stock availability and older vehicle reliability.
Staff reviewed competing dealer prices and an in-stock LT option. A department director said, “I would like to buy the LT just because it's got the power, heated mirrors, carpet, cloth seats,” and explained that an in-stock LT at a local dealer could shorten delivery time. Commissioners discussed whether to retain or auction an older 2012 Dodge with high mileage and maintenance issues, and a motion was made and approved by roll call to purchase the LT from Smith's for roughly $61,098.
Staff will coordinate financing within budget lines and follow up on disposition of the older vehicle.
