Rolette County orders two motor graders with long-term financing, accepts trade-ins
Summary
After receiving multiple bids, commissioners approved ordering two AWD motor graders with 7-year financing and warranties and a trade-in option for older graders; delivery expected in about a year with payment deferred until 2024.
Rolette County commissioners approved the purchase/order of two AWD motor graders after reviewing bids from equipment suppliers. Butler Machinery and other vendors provided proposals; the board accepted the recommendation to order two graders with seven-year financing and warranty and included trade-in of the county's 2011 and 2013 graders.
County representatives acknowledged the machines likely will not be available for about a year, so payment is not due immediately; commissioners discussed lease versus purchase and accepted purchase due to favorable financing conditions. The board also earlier approved increasing machine rental rates to reflect equipment costs.
