Agenda Item Summary:
The truck is intended for daily use by Equipment Maintenance, which requires reliable and efficient transportation for employees and equipment. This vehicle will enable the team to perform essential tasks, responding to urgent maintenance needs, and supporting City-wide operations. The Ford F150 4x4 Super Crew Short Box is well-suited to these demands, offering key capabilities such as ample seating and cargo space, four-wheel drive for navigating inclement weather, and advanced efficiency features that enhance both performance and usability. This 1/2-ton truck provides significant sustainability benefits. Its improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to older vehicles align with the City's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. By incorporating this vehicle into the fleet, the City will reduce its operational carbon footprint while benefiting from lower fuel and maintenance costs over time. This responsible investment will replace a vehicle that has surpassed its useful life or, if necessary, serve as an addition to the City's fleet. In either case, it will primarily support the Equipment Maintenance team, ensuring they have the tools and resources needed to serve the City effectively and efficiently.
