Board OKs purchase of two F-600 dump trucks; rejects single Gradall bid and opts for online auction
Summary
Supervisors approved buying two 2025 Ford F-600 dump trucks at $59,809 each, deferred upfitting costs, rejected a single bid of $1,050 for a 1986 Gradall and directed staff to list the Gradall on Municibid.
The Salem Township Board voted to purchase two 2025 Ford F-600 dump trucks at $59,809 each under a Costars contract, with upfitting costs to be approved later. Supervisors noted prior upfitting estimates of about $45,000 and said the upfitting would match the township's current F-600 trucks.
Separately, the board rejected the sole bid of $1,050 for a 1986 Gradall (VIN G856069) received at a special advertised meeting on April 14, 2025, and authorized advertising the vehicle for sale on Municibid. The motion to reject all bids and list the vehicle passed unanimously.
Supervisors also authorized advertising and bidding for maintenance materials and fuel purchases (various sizes of double-wall plastic pipe and quantities of diesel and gasoline) with bids due May 19, 2025. The board reserved the right to reject all bids.
