Mesa County Central Services -

Remember those retired county vehicles? Rather than hosting an in-person auction that requires staff to stand around for a weekend, Central Services now uses online auction platforms (like GovDeals and Purple Wave). This reaches a wider audience of bidders, often resulting in higher sale prices for old equipment, which goes back into the general fund.

Rather than outsourcing repairs to private mechanics, Central Services operates an internal garage. This allows the county to buy parts in bulk and pay only for the mechanic’s hourly wage, avoiding the steep markup of commercial shops. According to recent annual reports, the Fleet Management division saves the county roughly 20% per vehicle compared to outsourced maintenance. mesa county central services
