Sedgwick County’s Board of Bids and Contracts approved the purchase of a single ½‑ton crew‑cab, 4‑wheel‑drive truck with a short bed for its Lake Afton Park fleet. The award went to Whiteside of St. Clairsville, Inc. for a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado at a total price of $51,570, the lowest responsive bid among three disclosed competitors. The vehicle will replace a 2008 Chevrolet Colorado that has become uneconomical to maintain.

The procurement was conducted under full and open competition, with 97 vendors initially solicited, and follows standard county procurement procedures.
