Agenda Item Summary:
The Solid Waste Division is requesting to initiate a scheduled truck replacement program and purchase 1 new garbage truck chassis. The chassis will be paired up with the garbage truck body and automated lift arm, listed in a separate summary. The existing fleet’s engine warranties expire in September 2021 and maintenance costs for the 12 existing trucks will drastically increase. The requested Autocar chassis cost $163,450 each and come with a 6 year engine warranty. If approved, the truck would be delivered to Solid Waste in ~Jan 2022. We will impose a minimum increase of 3% surcharge for the price of steel after October 2021. The goal is to begin a scheduled replacement program that could replace the existing fleet over the next 5 years. The purchase would be made through Sourcewell utilizing contract pricing, and payment is not due until time of delivery. Note: The garbage truck body is purchased separately.
