Commissioners approve county equipment purchases including water truck and stationary hot washer
Summary
The board approved purchase of a used International water truck for $60,000 and a Landa stationary hot pressure washer for $11,897.60 to outfit the Circular Butte landfill shop and Road & Bridge operations; a compressor decision was deferred.
Jefferson County commissioners on April 27 approved multiple equipment purchases intended for Road & Bridge and the Circular Butte landfill shop. Mike Carter presented a quote for an International water truck priced at $60,000 and described in the presentation as having 28,000 miles. The board approved the purchase from Cowboy Contracting in Terreton, Idaho; motion by Commissioner Clark, second by Commissioner Young, passed unanimously.
Sam Scott, the county engineer, said a piston-compressor quote would be sought before a final compressor purchase; commissioners took no action on the compressor. Scott presented pressure-washer quotes from two local vendors and the board approved a Landa stationary hot pressure washer for $11,897.60 from Carl's Inc in Idaho Falls.
Note on transcript discrepancy: the presentation described the vehicle with 28,000 miles, while the clerk's motion names the vehicle as a 2016 International; the record contains both "2026" and "2016" model-year references. The board approved the purchase price and vendor; the engineering department will handle delivery and installation.
