(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission plans to purchase a new chip spreader for use during the road oiling season.
Doug Hermman with Van Keppel Company, of Topeka, offered Monday to sale the county a new machine for $186,000, with the trade-in of the county’s current 7-year-old machine.
However, Hermman said the machine would not be available until August after this year’s chip and seal season.
The county is looking at financing the purchase of the new machine through a 3-year lease purchase arrangement. Commission Chairman Steve Roberts asked Hermman to submit a lease-purchase agreement for the Commission’s consideration.
The county has been having problems with their current chip spreader and will have it worked on preparation for this summer’s chip and seal projects.
The county had checked into renting a machine but couldn’t find one to meet the county’s needs.
