Summary

Public works staff reported a new pressure washer and requested permission to bid and potentially purchase a 2010 International 7400 dump truck (GVW 33,000 lb, ~36,000 miles) with a not-to-exceed bid of $15,000; the board approved the capital items.

Jonathan from county public works reported that a new steam-pressure washer (a heated-water system) had arrived to clean building exteriors and sidewalks. He also requested board approval to solicit bids and possibly purchase a used 2010 International 7400 single-axle dump truck (GVW 33,000 pounds, ~36,000 miles) from State College Borough with an authorization not to exceed $15,000.

Jonathan said the truck includes a J & J aluminum dump body, an 11-foot front plow, an 8-foot wing plow and a salt spreader, and that buying it could avoid rental costs of about $11,000 for some upcoming projects. Commissioners moved and seconded to approve the two capital project items and the motion carried by voice vote.
