Explanation

The Transportation Division is responsible for the installation and maintenance of traffic signals throughout the City. To accomplish this mission, the Division requires three (3) aerial trucks with lifts that can reach heights up to 36 feet. These trucks will replace older units that are beyond their useful service lives and provide for a more reliable fleet to fulfill services provided by the Division. This purchase is consistent with the division's fleet replacement program.
