This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish purchase orders with The Larson Group, and with ESEC Corporation, dba Columbus Peterbilt, for the Division of Refuse Collection to purchase eight rear-loading, and eight front-box loading CNG powered refuse trucks, and to issue purchase orders for the trucks.
The Department of Public Service, Division of Refuse Collection, utilizes rear-loading and front-box loading refuse trucks in city-wide residential trash pick-up, and to support the clean-up of illegal dumping. 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.

Proposals were evaluated and two awards were made for the purchase of these vehicles with the intent to compare vendors on equipment performance, longevity and overall satisfaction with the equipment.
