Board OKs $260,000 change order for equipment rentals

The Harford County Board of Estimates unanimously approved Change Order #1 to Solicitation No. 20-123, increasing rental equipment authority for highway snow removal, road and bridge repair programs and various departmental needs.

Charlie Burke of the Department of Public Works recommended the change order and explained the additional funds would cover rental equipment and associated services for winter operations and infrastructure repairs. The board authorized up to $260,000 to Herc Rentals, Inc., following Section 41-25 of the Harford County Code. Mr. Sandlass moved the motion and Mr. Bettin seconded; the motion passed without recorded opposition.

The change order supplements existing contract capacity to address seasonal equipment shortfalls and emergency response needs during winter and road-repair activities.
