(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has approved the purchase of a new vehicle for the county appraiser’s office.
The Commission Tuesday accepted a bid from Nemaha Valley Motors, in Seneca, for the purchase of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee for $33,800. The bid does not include a trade-in.
County Appraiser Betty Roeder presented bids from three local auto dealers for both a SUV and a pickup.
The Commission did not accept the low bid, which was submitted by Honeyman Ford for a 2018 Ford Escape in the amount of $24,783, because it didn’t meet the county’s specifications.
Roeder said the department’s current vehicle is not sturdy enough for some of the roads they have to drive on.
The county plans to keep the current vehicle and use it in another department.
