# Madison County, Nebraska Considers Road Equipment

The Madison County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to consider two road-equipment purchases at its November 3, 2026 meeting: a 2022 Freightliner truck for $69,940 and a John Deere 770P motor grader for $303,550 through Sourcewell. The proposed purchases total $373,490, but they remain agenda items and are not confirmed awards. The agenda also includes an economic-development services agreement with the City of Tilden, an appraisal-contract addendum, and temporary easements for Project C-59(1010)A.

- The board’s consideration in two days may provide suppliers and local contractors with a near-term view of Madison County’s road-equipment needs; the agenda does not establish that either purchase has been awarded.
- The grader purchase is identified as using Sourcewell, making the cooperative purchasing route relevant to equipment suppliers and contractors serving county governments.
- Businesses should distinguish these pending agenda items from open solicitations or completed awards; the signal provides no bid submission instructions or procurement contact.
