Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize an expenditure not to exceed $75,000 to United Rentals for the temporary rental of pickup trucks and dump trucks for FY23, utilizing the Sourcewell Collective Purchasing Agreement #062320-URI.
end
Summary Background:
Due to supply chain issues and other delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, trucks, and parts to repair trucks are harder to source and taking longer to receive. To assist the Department in providing various services to residents United Rentals has provided several trucks through monthly rentals. These rentals have allowed trucks to spend extended time out of service while waiting for parts to become available. In addition, short term rental of dump trucks with plows and salt spreaders were used during FY22. These trucks augmented the City’s fleet of plow and salt trucks during the several storms experienced this past winter. The rental trucks provide the department with the equipment needed when it is needed without requiring a large up front Capital investment.
