COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: Continue an ongoing program of infrastructure and maintenance.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Solid Waste heavy equipment was added to the City’s vehicle replacement program fund in FY 2009-10 and since that time Solid Waste has made annual contributions for the replacement of garbage collection vehicles as well as Fleet Services vehicles. The addition of the equipment to the program has allowed Solid Waste to improve the quality and predictability of the trash and recycling collection service.
Due to continued rapid growth in the community the purchase of three new automated side load collection vehicles has been recommended. The addition of these vehicles will allow the residential and recycling lines of business to better align the workload for these divisions with industry standards by adding two additional routes to each.
There are also several vehicles scheduled for replacement which is based on the vehicles age and condition. The replacements include: one front load collection vehicle and one roll-off in the Commercial Collection Division, three automated side load collection vehicles, and one grapple truck in the Residential Collection Division, two rear load collection vehicles in the Recycling Division, one stake bed delivery truck in the Container Maintenance Division, one service truck, and one parts truck in the Fleet Services Division. The funding for these vehicles will come from the Enterprise Maintenance and Equipment Replacement Fund. The replaced vehicles will be declared surplus and sold at auction.
Pricing was requested from Chastang Autocar, Chastang Ford, and Rush Truck Center utilizing a cooperative contract through Buyboard which has been competitively vetted. The total cost for the vehicles is $3,351,114.
