County approves several equipment purchases and disposals: backhoe, graders, trailers, culverts
Summary
Across 2013 the board solicited and awarded bids for graders, rock trailers, dump boxes, culverts and a Caterpillar backhoe (informal quote award). Notable recorded prices include a 2013 Trail King trailer at $43,000 and a 2012 Caterpillar 420F backhoe at $89,873.43.
Nemaha County’s minutes show steady procurement activity for road maintenance equipment in 2013. Key procurement actions include acceptance of a Nebraska Machinery Company bid for a 2013 Trail King rock trailer at $43,000 (award recorded April 10), an August award for culvert materials (Midwest Service & Sales, $25,232.18), and an informal‑purchase award in October/November for a used 2012 Caterpillar 420F backhoe ($89,873.43) under the county’s special‑purchase statutory allowance.
The board also ran bids and awarded a steel dump box (PalFleet Bibeau box, $20,800), sold an older 1989 Load King bottom-dump trailer (sold to Steve Noa for $15,625.00), and authorized purchase options and quotes on motor‑grader rebuilds (quotes presented in March for roughly $75,900–$80,100). These actions were recorded by motion and roll-call where required; multiple items were publicly bid and opened on the record.
