Road & Bridge seeks to replace an aging dump truck; commissioners ask for usage data and options

Road and Bridge staff asked the court to approve replacement of a 2012 12‑yard dump truck (Unit 15), presenting a vendor quote of $220,563. Department staff said the fleet currently includes seven dump trucks of varying sizes (two 8‑yard, four 12‑yard, one 20‑yard) and that some older, smaller trucks see limited use. Commissioners pressed for hours‑logged, daily usage and maintenance histories to determine whether a replacement, used purchase or lease is the best option.
