Dubois County is in the market for some heavy equipment.  County commissioners opened bids this week on a package of dump trucks, dump beds, salt spreaders and an excavator.

The county council approved the idea of replacing some aging equipment back in March and highway superintendent Steve Berg has the green light to spend up to $400,000.

Our media partner, WITZ Radio, reports that Berg was pleased with the bids, which  came in under the $400,000.00 that was allocated from the council.
