Sheriff's Office Gains New Vehicles

By Brian Hagen

(KMZA)--New vehicles for the new year.

That's the outcome of bids received by Nemaha County Sheriff Rich Vernon, as approved last week by the Nemaha County Commission.

That includes the purchase of a 2016 Ford Explorer from Aberle Ford, of Sabetha, at a cost of $22,400 with the trade in of a 2012 Dodge Charger.

Nemaha Valley Motors had bid a $21,500 purchase price for a Dodge Durango, plus trade in, but that didn't fit the Sheriff's needs. Vernon told the Commission the bid did not include the equipment specified, nor is a Durango rated as a pursuit vehicle.

The Commission voted unanimously to approve the Aberle Ford bid. However, with the second purchase, it was Nemaha Valley Motors' turn to provide a new Sheriff's vehicle, with the dealership bidding $18, 500, plus a 2012 Dodge Charger trade in, for a 2016 Dodge Charger.

Aberle Ford had bid $20,400 for a 2016 Ford Taurus with the trade in.

Commissioners discussed the issue, and once the talk was completed, voted unanimously to accept the Nemaha Valley Motors bid.
