Board approves purchase of four Public Works pickup replacements
Summary
Josephine County authorized purchase of four Operations Division pickup trucks (three 2009s and one 1998) at about $47,000 each through the State cooperative contract to improve reliability and support snow-plowing and emergency response.
Public Works Director Rob Brandes requested authorization to replace four pickup trucks in the Operations Division due to high mileage and mechanical issues (two vehicles had roughly 170,000 and 190,000 miles). Brandes said the replacements would support crew transport, pilot-car duties, emergency response, and snow-plowing, and that three of the vehicles were 2009 models while one dated to 1998.
The vehicles would be purchased through the State cooperative purchasing contract for an estimated $47,000 each compared with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of about $56,000; Public Works will also install bed liners, headache racks, and quick-response snowplow attachments where appropriate. Commissioner Gary L. Richardson moved to approve the purchase and the motion passed 3-0.
