A Vermilion drainage district set an Oct. 14 deadline for tractor bids

Seventh Ward Gravity Drainage District No. 2 has advertised the sale of a 2007 four-wheel-drive John Deere 6715 tractor. The public notice sets a $20,000 minimum bid.

The district says it will receive and open sealed bids at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 14, during its regular meeting at the Seventh Ward Main Fire House, 20206 Highway 82 in Abbeville.

The notice says bids should be addressed to the district president at P.O. Box 3, Perry, LA 70575, and marked as bids on the outside of the sealed envelope. It directs people who want to arrange a viewing to contact the district supervisor through the phone numbers listed in the public notice.

The notice says the district reserves the right to reject bids and waive informalities. It does not establish whether the tractor remains available after the published deadline or identify a buyer.
