Pratt County OKs $43,100 purchase of rescue tools, evaluates rescue truck ahead of delivery
Summary
The commission approved a $43,100 purchase of rescue tools from Rescue Specialist and heard a Fire & Rescue report on a prospective rescue truck; Clayton Kessler said the vehicle’s estimated delivery timeline is "approximately 30 days."
The Pratt County Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of rescue tools from Rescue Specialist for $43,100, to be paid from Special Equipment Fire and Rescue funds. Commissioner Rick Shriver moved the purchase, Commissioner Thomas W. Jones III seconded, and the motion passed 3‑0.
Earlier in the meeting Fire & Rescue representative Clayton Kessler provided an update on inspection and purchase options for a rescue truck. Kessler said the in‑person evaluation identified a list of minor repair items and that the seller had offered incentives including a gas generator, reimbursement of travel expenses and delivery to Pratt County if the county proceeded with the purchase. Kessler noted an "estimated deliver timeline is approximately 30 days."
The minutes record the equipment quotes and the funding source for the rescue‑tool purchase; they do not record a formal vote to purchase a specific truck at this meeting, only the status update and the separate tools purchase.
