REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Steven D. Johnson, Superintendent Solid Waste Division
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Purchase of one new 2009 60,000 lb gvwr tandem axle truck with installed and
operating new 2009 side-loading refuse packer body.
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2008 Consent Agenda
RECOMMENDATION: Award the bid of $220,007.00 for one new 2009 60,000 lb gvwr
tandem axle truck with refuse packer body to Rocky Mountain Truck Center.
BACKGROUND: The purchase of this truck has been scheduled in the CIP for FY 2009 and
FY09 budget for $240,000. Because it can take anywhere from six to 15 months to receive these
vehicles once ordered, the City Manager authorized us to proceed with the bid prior to FY09
budget year. The truck will not be received before the end of FY08. One bid was received from
Rocky Mountain Truck for $220,007 resulting in a savings of $19,993.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The funds for this project will be drawn out of the Solid Waste Division
Enterprise Fund.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
Steven D. Johnson, Superintendent
