Police Jury committee approves $169,412 dump truck purchase after rejecting low bid over delivery uncertainty
Summary
The committee awarded a $169,412 dump truck purchase to Bruckner's Truck & Equipment Oct. 14, rejecting a lower $152,240 bid from Scott Truck LLC because it lacked an exact delivery date and referenced a likely 25% tariff.
The Lincoln Parish Public Works Committee on Oct. 14 voted to award the purchase of a 52,000 lb GVW tandem dump truck to Bruckner's Truck & Equipment for $169,412.00. Dan Lord moved the award; Diane Richards seconded. The committee rejected the low bid from Scott Truck LLC for not meeting specifications and for failing to provide an exact delivery date.
The committee's minutes include the bid tabulation showing Scott Truck LLC's bid at $152,240.00 (delivery listed as 'Approximately April 2026') and a staff recommendation citing an Oct. 2, 2025 email from Scott Truck LLC that stated 'I do anticipate that it will be applied' regarding a potential 25% tariff, which would raise that bid to about $190,300.00. Bruckner's bid listed a delivery date of 12/4/2025. The bid award was recorded in the committee minutes.
