Board approves up to $35,000 to upfit county leased vehicles
Summary
Commissioners authorized in-house upfits for five leased county vehicles and approved up to $35,000 from county improvement funds to purchase parts and complete the work, citing a lower cost alternative to outsourcing.
The board on Jan. 22 authorized in-house upfits for five leased county vehicles and approved spending of up to $35,000 from county improvement funds to acquire parts and equip vehicles. Board discussion noted outsourcing would cost roughly $3,200 per vehicle and take about two weeks per car; in-house work will be staggered and is expected to reduce costs.
Commissioner Michelle LaRose moved, and Chair Mary Hardies seconded, the motion approving up to $35,000 for in-house upfit work; the motion passed unanimously on roll-call vote. The controller and fleet staff will proceed with parts procurement so work can begin when vehicles are delivered.
