Summary
The board approved purchasing a 2027 Ford F‑450 from Rochester Ford; the motion on the record references a bid amount of $58,005.46 and staff said outfitting costs (sander, bed, blade) will be presented later.
Board members approved purchasing a 2027 Ford F‑450 for the street department from Rochester Ford. Staff presented multiple vendor quotes and recommended Rochester Ford as the low bidder; a motion to accept Rochester Ford's bid was made and the board approved via voice vote.
The transcript includes two similar bid figures in discussion; staff presented Rochester Ford as the low bidder and the motion on the record referenced "$58,005.46." After the vote staff said outfitting quotes (bed, drop‑in sander, snow blade) will be pursued and brought back to the board before those costs are committed.
Board members asked whether the replaced truck would be traded in or sold; staff said they would not trade it in and later suggested they may list older equipment on govdeals to recover funds as part of future capital balancing.
