County approves $58,980 Silverado for Road & Bridge; mower options remain under review
Summary
The board approved purchase of a 2026 Chevy Silverado 2500 at a cost of $58,980 for Road & Bridge operations and discussed mower/tractor horsepower options and supply lead times; staff will continue vendor checks and return with final specs for mowers.
Road and Bridge staff reported on fleet maintenance needs and proposed purchasing a 2026 Chevy Silverado 2500 for $58,980 to replace an aging unit. Mike, the department lead, told commissioners the price is comparable to prior purchases and that the county will reassign existing equipment to cover functions until replacement is complete.
The department also presented quotes for mowers and tractors, discussed horsepower requirements (95–125 hp), and noted supply and shipping lead times. Commissioners asked staff to further investigate local dealer availability and long‑term maintenance needs before finalizing the mower purchase; the pickup purchase motion was approved on roll call.
