Clinton's Public Works department is planning on purchasing a new dump truck.

Public Works Director Steve Lobb explained Monday night to the Clinton City Council they received two bids for the truck and there was roughly a ten thousand dollar difference between the two bids.

Lobb has reservations about one of the bids they received. He says the lower bid from Landmark Ford ($67,479) is hard to ignore but cautioned the Council.

According to Lobb, the purchase will replace a late 90's model the city has. Lobb says they try to keep their purchases to every 15 years but this purchase has surpassed that threshold.
