Approval of and authorization to purchase a conversion for Unit 2019 from Premier Truck Group of Tulsa for the Street & Stormwater Department
End
Background:
The Stormwater Division has identified a need for a ramp bed equipment truck. The cost of acquiring a new unit for this purpose exceeds $120,000. Approximately one year ago, Unit 2019, a refuse truck, was decommissioned due to a catastrophic failure of the packing mechanism, specifically the waste gate. Although the age and condition of Unit 2019 have not reached the end of its serviceable life cycle, the cost of repairing this rear-loader is prohibitive due to the Solid Waste and Recycling department's transition to Automated Side Loaders (ASL). This unit has low mileage and hours on the chassis, making it financially responsible to repurpose this truck to meet organizational requirements. This unit has been transferred to the Streets & Stormwater Department to convert and utilize to serve their needs at a significant savings over the cost of a new unit. Reallocated surplus funding from two completed projects will cover the cost of the upfit without the need to allocate new capital to cover the expenditure.
Remaining funds from a completed (2) FY2026 project has been re-allocated with budget transfers into a new project #2653260, identified as Conversion of unit 2019 to equipment hauler.
1 Flail Mower and Tractor for the Stormwater Division identified as project #2653030 will transfer the entire $25,000 in surplus funds to the new project.
To maximize resources and achieve cost efficiencies, staff recommends the conversion of this unit.
Cost: $24,985.00
Funding Source: 2653260-2205305-570170
