Commissioners approve adding pickup to Public Works bid package
Summary
After staffing changes and failing vehicles, Public Works told the Board it needs an additional half-ton pickup for the Assistant County Engineer and to reassign an existing truck for inspections; commissioners approved adding the vehicle to the bid package 5-0.
Curtis Mader, Public Works Director, asked the Board to allow staff to add one more half-ton pickup to an ongoing bid package so the county could purchase a replacement for the Assistant County Engineer. Mader explained recent staff changes and equipment reassignments — including the return of a new surveyor and reallocation of vehicles — and said an existing vehicle transferred to the landfill is now unreliable.
"Staff is recommending purchasing a new pickup for the Assistant County Engineer and to reassign his current pickup as the Engineering inspection vehicle," Mader told the Board. Commissioner Dan Woydziak moved to add the extra pickup to the bid package; Commissioner Jeff Masterson seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
