Commission OKs $232,934 Freightliner purchase for Road & Bridge
Summary
The Board approved purchase of a 2026 Freightliner 114SD Plus dump truck from Truck Center Companies under the State of Kansas contract for a net county cost of $232,934 after a $50,000 trade allowance; staff were authorized to sign related documents.
Road & Bridge Superintendent Jim Meier asked the commission to approve purchase of a 2026 Freightliner 114SD Plus dump truck under the State of Kansas pricing contract. The purchase uses state pricing and includes a stainless steel dump body, snow plow and related equipment.
The county’s purchase agreement shows a $282,934 unit price with a $50,000 trade allowance, resulting in $232,934 due on delivery. Commissioners voted unanimously to accept the quote and authorize staff to sign. The meeting packet included the state procurement contract, Truck Center purchase agreement, and detailed vehicle specifications.
Commission documents note that the truck purchase, together with an earlier motor-grader buy, approaches the approved 2025 Road & Bridge CIP total. Staff said the truck will be configured to county specifications and delivered per the vendor’s delivery window and terms in the purchase agreement.
