County staff seek approval to buy 14‑passenger transit van for $72,025
Summary
Glenn Downs asked commissioners to approve purchase of a 2024 14‑passenger state‑contract van for $72,025 from the transit reserve account; staff said the procurement was approved by GDOT and will add passenger capacity to the county fleet.
Glenn Downs asked the Troup County commissioners to approve purchasing a 2024, 14‑passenger transit van at state contract pricing for $72,025, with funds to come from the transit reserve account. Downs said the procurement followed a months‑long process with GDOT and that the purchase had received GDOT approval tied to the funding.
Commissioners asked how the vehicle would be used and whether the county had flexibility in its operations because the county is purchasing the vehicle rather than GDOT. Downs replied that while the county has some flexibility, there are guidelines about using the vehicle for passenger transport tied to the funding. The board indicated it would take the item up during that evening’s meeting for a formal vote.
