County accepts JM Wood guarantee of $430,000 for two Kenworth dump trucks
Summary
The commission approved sending two Kenworth tri-axle dump trucks to JM Wood’s June auction, accepting the firm's guaranteed minimum return of $430,000 and noting prior auctions' high returns as part of the county's fleet replacement strategy.
Commissioners approved a proposal from JM Wood Auction Company to auction two Kenworth tri-axle dump trucks in mid-June and accepted the company's guarantee of $430,000 for the two vehicles. Staff discussed past auction returns and commission rates; one commissioner noted the county recouped a high percentage of purchase price in previous sales.
The motion carried by voice vote. Commissioners discussed the trade-out program that helps keep trucks newer and reduces downtime and maintenance costs, and staff will proceed with the auction as scheduled June 16–18 under the guaranteed amount.
