Commission approves TSPLOST purchase of tractor; staff discuss vehicle trades
Summary
Commissioners approved buying a tractor from Carson Bros using TSPLOST funds and discussed trading a sheriff's vehicle to Public Works; a Carson Bros quote lists a 2023 New Holland Workmaster 95 at $40,681 (tax‑exempt).
Commissioners voted unanimously on May 6 to accept the lower quote from Carson Brothers to purchase a batwing tractor using TSPLOST funds. The vendor proposal in the record lists a 2023 New Holland Workmaster 95 tractor priced at $40,681 with freight included and tax‑exempt status noted.
Chairman Charles Coffey and County Manager Thomas Weaver also explored whether a trade of a black F‑150 from the sheriff's department could be used to bolster the Public Works fleet; Weaver said he would ask the sheriff if that trade remained an option. "If we traded and got a truck from the sheriff dept would that help public works," Coffey asked, and Weaver said it would. The procurement will be funded from SPLOST and TSPLOST allocations for capital equipment.
