Title
2021 FLEET PURCHASE
Background
In the adoption of the 2021 Capital Budget, Council appropriated funding for certain pieces of equipment in the Capital Equipment Plan. Pursuant to the City Charter, Sec. 6.05, staff is now requesting Council approval for the purchase of the vehicles listed below. The actual purchase of the vehicles will be in 2021 and the vehicles will be purchased from various vendors using the State Cooperative Purchasing Program. Due to the ordering process for these vehicles and to avoid delivery dates late into the year, it is necessary to begin the ordering and purchase process as close to the beginning of the year as possible. The vehicles listed are replacement vehicles and align with the current five-year capital equipment plan.
The purchase of these vehicles is the first step in preparing them for use. The subsequent steps include the purchase and installation of the equipment. While the purchase of equipment and vehicle setup will occur at a later time, the entire cost of the vehicles is included in the 2021 budget appropriations. This request includes both the purchase of the vehicles and purchase of equipment, set-up and installation.
