Title

APPROVE 2021 PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL EQUIPMENT PURCHASES

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. All equipment has been listed in information provided to the City Council at previous budget discussion work sessions, and approval is contingent upon final adoption of the 2021 budget.

 

All the equipment listed will be purchased through the State Cooperative Purchasing Program from various vendors.  Contract pricing reflects actual dealer price changes since the budget was developed.  In total, sufficient funding was appropriated in the Capital Equipment budgets for the selected equipment.
