Commission awards truck-mounted sprayer bid to Benco for $22,367.65
Summary
After reviewing vendor quotes and configurations for a truck-mounted weed sprayer, Brown County staff recommended Benco's $22,367.65 bid and the commission approved the purchase.
Brown County commissioners approved staff's recommendation to purchase a truck-mounted sprayer from Benco, a configuration quoted in the meeting packet at $22,367.65.
Staff reviewed multiple vendor quotes and advised the commission on configurations and pricing. One presenter summarized vendor responses and said the Benco setup was preferred because of both price and the way it was configured; the presenter recommended the Benco sprayer at "$22,367.65." Commissioners moved and seconded approval and carried the motion by voice vote.
The discussion referenced earlier quotes and the option of an upgraded mutating head, which would have added substantial cost. Commissioners also noted the availability of a used truck and staff reported favorable background checks on the vehicle. The weed and pest supervisor named in the agenda packet was not present at the initial discussion, but staff proceeded with the award based on reviewed quotes and recommendations.
