Summary
The Mills County Board voted to buy a new grader from Ziegler for $362,862.16 after a $70,000 trade-in; supervisors said the purchase matches budget estimates and will replace unsupported equipment used in county road work.
The Mills County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a new road grader after staff reported a final price of $362,862.16 following a $70,000 trade-in.
County Engineer (S2) told the board the vendor quoted a $70,000 trade-in and a total purchase price of $362,862.16, which fits the budgeted amount of $365,000. Supervisor (S4) moved to approve the purchase and the motion carried after the board voted in favor. The transcript identifies Ziegler as the vendor.
Board members asked whether the new unit would require additional outlays; staff responded the purchase is complete and includes the necessary equipment, so no immediate extra expenses were expected. The board’s approval directs staff to proceed with the order and trade-in process.
