rental of 5.5 mini excavator for 2 days for white post--water main broke-clark county has cut off…

The Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Corrections (DOC), Division of Institutions, awarded contract PO05457723 to K & M Equipment Rentals on September 1, 2026. The contract is valued at $840 and covers the rental of one 5.5-ton mini excavator for a two-day period. The equipment is to be delivered to White Post, Clark County, Virginia, for use at White Post Farm. The work was necessitated by a water main break that resulted in Clark County cutting off all water service to the facility, which houses cattle on the property.

The prime contractor, K & M Equipment Rentals, is responsible for providing the excavator to support emergency repair operations at the specified location. The delivery recipient identified for this contract is Ben DeBoer. Given the emergency nature of the water main failure and the time-sensitive requirement to restore services to the agricultural facility, the two-day equipment rental window reflects the immediate operational need. This contract represents a routine equipment rental transaction executed through the DOC's Division of Institutions procurement process.
