Summary Background:
The Department of Public Works periodically must replace trucks due to the wear and tear they receive over many years of use. While the fleet overall is newer than in past years, there are still several trucks that are more than 7 years old and are requiring more frequent and expensive maintenance, which is increasing the down time of the truck which can have an impact on services.
Due to the continuing supply chain and labor effects of the COVID-19 pandemic new vehicles are taking between 6 and 24 months to be built, upfitted, and delivered to the City. When this truck becomes available it will allow the Department to retire an appropriate truck at that time.
Next Steps:
Issue purchase order and place order for the truck.
Fiscal Impact:
NTE $75,000
