County to buy two CAT motor graders for $750,608; payments planned for 2025
Summary
Public Works recommended accepting the low CAT quote of $375,304 each (including trade-ins) for two CAT 160JOY motor graders, a $750,608 purchase the board approved unanimously; payments will be made in 2025.
Public Works Superintendent Jed Rhubee and Lead Heavy Equipment Mechanic Mike Meeks presented competing quotes from John Deere and CAT for two motor graders and noted two 2017 John Deere 772 graders would be traded in. The board approved taking the low quote from CAT at $375,304 each (price includes trade-ins) for a total of $750,608 and recorded that payments will be made in 2025 (motion by Norm Holmen, second by Larry Anderson).
The minutes do not include financing details beyond the note that payments are planned in 2025, nor do they list the expected delivery or operational timeline. The board’s action authorizes the purchase; follow-up fiscal and logistics steps are expected to appear in county procurement or capital planning records.
