Summary
Franklin County authorized Public Works Supervisor Lance Geddes to buy a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 from Smith Chevrolet for $51,821.20, approving the purchase by reallocating funds originally planned for a lean‑to on the salt building.
Supervisor Lance Geddes presented three bids for a new pickup truck and recommended using budgeted funds for a planned lean‑to on the salt building to purchase the vehicle instead. Bids presented were: Smith Chevrolet — 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD Crew Cab for $51,821.20; Hansen Motor Company — 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 for $53,604.00; and Murdock Chevrolet GMC — 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for $63,303.00.
Commissioner Zan Bowles moved to purchase the Smith Chevrolet vehicle at $51,821.20 and authorized Lance Geddes to make the purchase; Commissioner Robert Swainston seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The commissioners allowed the department to use funds previously allocated for a lean‑to on the salt building to complete the purchase.
