The board reviewed four comparable backhoe/loader quotes presented by Highway Superintendent Wyatt Boswell: a JCB 3XC14 at $124,566.00; a Cat 420 (102 hp) at $144,835.62; a John Deere 310G at $141,690.86 (with a 60-month extended warranty); and a New Holland B95D at $158,500.00. The minutes record Wyatt's ranking of value among the options.
