Police jury approves shouldering machine and motorized broom purchases for highway work
Summary
Bossier Parish awarded a $65,755 bid for a 2026 shouldering machine to Covington Sales and Service and a $99,837 motorized broom to Scott Equipment after the low broom bid failed to meet specifications. Both awards were unanimous.
Parish Engineer Eric Hudson presented bid results for highway equipment and recommended awarding a new 2026 model shouldering machine to Covington Sales and Service for $65,755.00; the jury voted unanimously to award the bid and authorized the Parish President or Administrator to execute documents.
Hudson also reported that the low bidder for a new 2026 motorized broom failed to meet key specifications (notably a locking mechanism for the broom when contacting asphalt). After review with purchasing staff, he recommended Scott Equipment at $99,837.00; that award also carried unanimously. The meeting record lists the other bidders and amounts for each procurement.
