DeWitt County Board approves equipment purchases and bridge-inspection contract totaling more than $377,000
Summary
The board approved purchases including a $15,000 tilt-deck trailer, a $277,382 truck, and a professional services agreement for bridge inspection not to exceed $85,085.75.
The DeWitt County Board approved multiple Road & Bridge purchases and a professional services contract at its Dec. 18 meeting. The purchases included a 2023 tilt-deck equipment trailer for $15,000 from Altorfer Cat and a 2027 Mack Granite 64FR for $277,382.00 from Nextran Truck Centers; both motions were presented by Werts and approved by the board.
In addition, the board approved a Professional Services Agreement for bridge inspection and program management services not to exceed $85,085.75 with WHKS & Co. The bridge-inspection motion (moved by Werts, second by Farris) carries a not-to-exceed amount recorded in the minutes. The combined authorizations are recorded in the board minutes as discrete motions and roll-call votes; the minutes do not include financing source details for the vehicle purchase or the inspection contract in the meeting text.
The purchases are intended to support county road-and-bridge operations and ongoing asset-management obligations. The bridge-inspection contract was specifically identified as professional services for inspection and program management and quoted with a not-to-exceed cap in the motion.
