Commission waives bids, approves purchase of 2024 Chevy Silverado for Public Works
Summary
The commission approved a waiver of the bid process to buy a 2024 Chevy Silverado under the Florida Sheriffs Association contract at $50,660 plus $2,134.67 for emergency equipment; a used 2005 F-250 will be declared surplus for auction.
Public Works staff asked the commission to waive the competitive-bid process and authorize purchase of a 2024 Chevy Silverado under the Florida Sheriffs Association cooperative contract to replace a high-mileage 2005 Ford F-250. Staff said the truck price is $50,660 and the safety lighting package is $2,134.67; the purchase is included in the FY24–25 budget.
A motion to waive the bid process and authorize the purchase passed 5–0. Staff also proposed declaring the 2005 Ford F-250 surplus and placing it for auction; commissioners discussed typical auction outcomes and directed staff to proceed with the surplus listing. No contested discussion occurred and the procurement will move forward as budgeted.
