30. Approve Piggyback Purchase of John Deere Tractors for DOT

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners has approved the purchase of two new John Deere 6M 115 Cab Tractors for the Department of Transportation. These tractors will be used for mowing and maintaining rights-of-way across Lee County. The purchase was made using a Sourcewell Ag Contract, which provides volume discounts. This approval means the county is moving forward with acquiring this new equipment. The project involves the acquisition of specialized heavy equipment. This will likely lead to opportunities for suppliers of heavy machinery and related parts. Businesses that provide maintenance and repair services for this type of equipment may also find opportunities. Reaching out to Lee County Fleet Management or the Department of Transportation early could provide insight into future needs and potential work.
