Union County seeks search-and-rescue pickup, tops bid at $46,000
Union County is bidding for a search-and-rescue pickup with a hard price ceiling of $46,000. The truck must be a 2018-or-newer three-quarter-ton crew cab with four-wheel drive.
Union County Emergency Services has put out a bid request for a search-and-rescue pickup that must come in at a total delivered price of no more than $46,000. The notice does not say whether the truck will replace an older rig or add to the search-and-rescue fleet.
The county will consider either a new or pre-owned vehicle, but any used truck must come with clear title and no liens. The minimum build starts with a model year 2018 or newer and fewer than 75,000 original miles. Union County also wants a crew cab with four full doors, a cargo box at least 76 inches long, four-wheel drive and a locking or limited-slip rear differential.
Power and towing capacity are part of the ask. The truck must have a gasoline engine with at least 400 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, an automatic transmission and a factory towing package. The county set minimum ratings of 14,000 pounds of conventional trailer capacity and 3,000 pounds of payload.
Union County also listed features it would prefer, including a locking tailgate, tow mirrors, skid plates, a spray-on bedliner, a 220-amp alternator and a canopy. Sealed proposals are due by noon Friday, July 17.
