Financial Impact
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 2022 budget.
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.
Approving these purchases prior to January 1 will allow the City to be at the head of the production requests and take advantage of any year-end incentives from the manufacturers.
