Jackson County approves purchase of three Bobcat mini-excavators at up to $111,750.19 each
Summary
The Highway Director convinced commissioners to replace a leased excavator by purchasing three Bobcat mini-excavators—one per district—at a per-unit cap of $111,750.19; the motion carried unanimously.
Highway Director Jerry Ault requested replacement of a leased excavator and proposed purchasing three Bobcat mini-excavators—one for each district—citing greater efficiency and less need to stop work for traffic. The board approved the purchase by motion; the minutes record the motion to purchase three units not to exceed $111,750.19 per unit, seconded by Commissioner Storey and carried with three yes votes.
Commissioners discussed keeping three machines busy across districts; Ault said the department can deploy them effectively. The minutes do not list the total purchase amount beyond the per-unit cap or the funding source, and they do not include delivery or financing terms.
