Staff Contact:

Kathy Richardson, Solid Waste Manager

Robert Aaron, Fleet Manager

Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Approve the purchase of one (1) Automated Side Load Refuse Truck from Chastang Autocar in the amount of $262,836.31, utilizing the HGAC cooperative contract, as part of the 2019 CIP (PW19F3CIP) replacement schedule. 

 

Executive Summary:

 

Solid Waste and Central Maintenance staff identified the replacement of unit #472 in the 2019 budget and CIP process.  This unit has been identified to have met the replacement criteria.  Solid Waste is recommending the replacement of this rear load unit with an automated side load refuse truck. Pricing has been obtained from the HGAC cooperative contract. The proposed truck configuration has provided lower operational costs and less downtime.

 

The pricing ($262,836.31) is in excess of the budgeted amount ($255,000) by an amount of $7,836.31. This is due to increases in steel pricing. The 2019 Solid Waste Vehicle/ Equipment program has realized savings from other units being replaced which can account for the overage (vehicle replacement summary attached).
