Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Refuse Collection utilizes flatbed trucks for the deployment of both refuse and recycling containers. The Department of Public Service and Fleet Management recognize the need to replace older trucks in its fleet that are beyond the useful service life of the vehicle.
Ordinance 1070-2015 authorized the purchase of two (2) F450 CNG flatbed trucks through the utilization of bids and the universal term contract with Byers Ford for light duty trucks. Instead of using a separate contact, it has been determined it is in the best interest of the city to utilize the universal term contract for the CNG conversion of the previously approved trucks. The city will establish a one-time contract for the purchase of two (2) F450 cab and chasses with CNG conversion.
The city will secure two (2) F450 cab and chasses with CNG conversion through the universal term contract with Byers Ford, FL006249.
The total estimated expenditure for this purchase is $113,208.00
