Madison County approves bids and equipment purchases for Solid Waste operations
Summary
The board approved going out to bid for an over-length trailer and approved purchase of a backhoe from RDO for $74,000; the proposal to sell dirt was continued to next week.
Madison County's Solid Waste Foreman, Dillan Haugland, brought several operational requests to the commissioners on July 14. The board approved a motion to put an over-length trailer out for bid and approved the purchase of a backhoe from RDO in the amount of $74,000. Haugland's proposed sale of dirt was continued to the next meeting for further consideration.
Commissioners recorded the motions and unanimous votes on each procurement item. The decisions are intended to support Solid Waste operations and site maintenance, with the trailer procurement to be completed via competitive bid.
Why it matters: equipment purchases and bids affect Solid Waste capacity and operations; the approved backhoe is a capital purchase requiring budget allocation and subsequent delivery, while the trailer will proceed through bid advertising and award.
