Delivery of the chassis, its associated packer body, shipment and packer installation is expected to be between six and nine months depending on manufacturer scheduling. Ordering these trucks will ensure a reliable fleet is available for next year's heavy summer period. Funds have been appropriated and are available in the Broken Arrow Municipal Authority (BAMA) Capital Outlay Fund in the amount of $547,000.
