Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Planning and Operations is responsible for sweeping and maintenance and repair of the City's roadway system. To accomplish this mission the Division requires three flusher trucks and one retrofitted flusher truck. These trucks will replace older units beyond their useful service lives and will provide for a more reliable fleet to carry out services provided by the Division. This purchase is consistent with the division's fleet replacement program. One of the flusher trucks will be configured to be powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).
The cabs and chassis necessary for the building of the flusher trucks are available on an existing ODOT contract and the flusher bodies are available on an Ohio Department of Administrative Service Cooperative Contract. The truck to be retrofitted will need to be transported to the Etnyre facility. That service has been bid out separately through the City's purchasing system.
The three new units will be fitted with 2200 gallon flusher bodies and the unit to retrofitted will be equipped with a 1900 gallon flusher body.
