Public Works staff explained the decision as part of preventive maintenance and warranty protection for machines valued at $425,000 to $450,000 each. The director said major components — including onboard computers (which staff described as costly), transmissions and engines — can be expensive to replace, and the warranty would mitigate those risks.
Staff said the county attorney approved the agreement’s form and the county auditor certified funds were available. The commission approved the contract by a 3-0 roll call vote. Staff recommended the warranty as part of a broader equipment-maintenance strategy; commissioners did not propose alternative procurement approaches during the discussion.
