Commissioners authorize bids for two work trucks after reliability concerns
Summary
After reports that a county pickup has 145,000 miles and a vehicle stalled on a fire line, commissioners unanimously approved going out to bid for two work trucks.
County staff and the fire warden urged the board to authorize bids for two work trucks after reporting reliability problems with existing vehicles. Administrative Director Cameron Duff recommended bidding for new trucks because "the current truck has 145,000 miles on it," the minutes record.
Sheridan County Fire Warden Chris Thomas told the board he was disheartened after a county vehicle stopped on a fire line and said he had lost trust in relying on that vehicle. Commissioner Lonnie J. Wright moved to authorize Public Works and the Fire Warden to go out to bid for two work trucks; the motion passed unanimously.
The board did not specify model, budget, or procurement timeline at the staff meeting; the authorization allows departments to proceed with the bid process.
