Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with FYDA Freightliner Columbus, Inc. for the purchase of a Single Axle Dump Truck- CNG Option w/Snow Plow Package for the Division of Water. This unit will be used by our Distribution Maintenance Section for repair and maintenance of the existing water mainline infrastructure and snow plowing responsibilities in the winter season. This purchase was approved by Fleet Management. In support of the Mayor's Get Green Columbus initiative, this CNG vehicle incorporates an engine that will emit fewer emissions than the older unit BT-21636 that it is replacing.
