County approves lease‑purchase and special purchases for road equipment
Summary
Nemaha County approved a lease‑purchase financing (Resolution 10‑36) for two Caterpillar 928HZ wheel loaders and later authorized special purchases of front‑end loaders and other equipment in 2010.
Across several meetings the Nemaha County Board authorized significant road equipment purchases. On Oct. 13 the board approved a quote and adopted Resolution 10‑36 to enter into a lease‑purchase with Caterpillar Financial Services for two 2008 Caterpillar 928HZ wheel loaders, recording a net purchase price after trade‑ins of $186,000.00 and authorizing advanced payments when budget allowed.
Earlier and later meetings also discussed front‑end loader needs and authorized advertising for special purchase bids for two Cat front‑end loaders, with related sealed bid processes described in the minutes. The board recorded motions to award bids and to advertise solicitations and listed vendor quotes and financing instruments in the claims and action lines.
The equipment acquisitions were discussed alongside road maintenance, bridge inspection work, and disaster recovery needs; commissioners framed the purchases as operationally necessary to maintain county roads and to respond to flood‑related damage.
