The Harvey County Commission approved the purchase of a 2025 Caterpillar 140-13L motor-grader for the Road & Bridge Department at a final cost of $299,645.25 after a $43,000 trade-in; the purchase falls under the county’s $310,000 capital budget.
The Harvey County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 18 approved the purchase of a 2025 Caterpillar 140-13L motor-grader for the Road & Bridge Department at a final price of $299,645.25 after a $43,000 trade‑in for an older Komatsu. The purchase was authorized under a Sourcewell cooperative quote and the county’s capital budget for the item was $310,000.
Road & Bridge Superintendent Jim Meier presented the Sourcewell quote and specifications, including a Cat Grade Bit System and a 14-foot moldboard. The purchase replaces a 2008 Komatsu with about 8,300 hours. Commissioner Terry Scott moved to approve the purchase and authorize staff to sign the purchase agreement; Commissioner Becky Reimer seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The purchase agreement and source quote are on file with county staff and show the net balance due as $299,645.25 (sale price $342,645.25 less $43,000 trade-in). Finance staff noted the purchase aligns with the approved 2025 Road & Bridge capital improvement plan.
