(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved the purchase of a service – ready, 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicle from Rockdale Country Ford of Rockdale, Texas at a purchase price of $45,356 when they met May 5th.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty presented the quote for the vehicle.

The Sheriff's Department will also be receiving a utility vehicle approved for purchase in July of 2019 from Hullman's Ford in Falls City. It is scheduled for delivery later this month or in early June and will be purchased in the next fiscal year budget. The vehicle was purchased from Hullman's through state bid pricing which goes through a Lincoln dealership. Commissioners noted the delay was not due to an issue with the local dealership.

Board members also reviewed a quote from First Wireless, Inc. for the purchase of a radio system for the Law Enforcement Center. The quote of $182,050 is based on a Nebraska Administrative Services Contract so formal bidding would not be required for this purchase. No action was taken .

Commissioners did approve the purchase of equipment and software that would assist with the handling of inmate services from Summit Food Service at a cost of $1,800.
