Road department moves forward on equipment repairs and procurement
Summary
Supervisors approved quotes and sole-source repairs for road equipment, agreed to a lower bid for a replacement motor, and pressed road management to enforce daily maintenance reporting after a vehicle failure.
The road manager briefed the board on ongoing pavement, reclaiming and chip‑seal work and several equipment issues. He said crews are finishing Dodd Road and will move to Blaylock Road, described plans for reclaim and chip‑seal projects, and discussed the need for a motor replacement in a 2019 model truck.
After reviewing two quotes, the board approved the lower quote for a drop‑in motor (Tri State, $19,999) and authorized sole‑source work on a LeeBoy patch truck with a parts and repair quote of $13,785.73. Several supervisors pressed for stronger maintenance documentation after the truck failure and asked that drivers file written daily reports and that the shop keep clear service records to prevent asset loss.
