Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Refuse Collection utilizes both manual side loading and front loading refuse trucks in city-wide residential trash pick-up. The Department of Public Service and Fleet Management recognize the need to replace older trucks in its fleet beyond the useful service life of the vehicle. The City will establish two, one-time contracts for the purchase of five (5) manual side loading diesel refuse trucks and six (6) front loading CNG refuse trucks. The terms of the proposed contracts are from the date of execution by the City up to and including the manufacturer's build out date.

The Purchasing Office opened formal bids (SA005311) April 10th, 2014 for the purchase of five (5) Manual Side Loading Refuse Trucks for the Division of Refuse Collection. Two bids were received.
