Agenda Item Summary:
Public Works will purchase two (2) new pickups to replace aging units that are currently in fleet. The aged units will be offered to other Public Works divisions and City departments. The units being replaced have been used by the Construction Inspection Group. Purchasing newer vehicles ensures the reliability and professional presence of City staff at active construction sites throughout the City. Transferring them saves money by extending their usefulness to the City as there are many areas of operations where it would not be practical to use newer vehicles, such as working in off-road conditions like many divisions and departments do regularly. Previously, we have transferred vehicles that are still in decent functional condition to Solid Waste, Rapid Transit, Water, Traffic, Parks & Rec, and the Mayor’s Office where they will either see less use or have less visibility to the public.
