ACTION REQUEST
Commission approval for the Sanitation Department to purchase a new Peterbilt Grapple Truck from APEX EQUIPMENT SALES, INC. The purchase price is $293,750.00.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
The purchase of this new grapple truck will replace the 2008 Peterbilt that has reached the end of its reliable service life. As a critical asset in our operations, the grapple truck plays a vital role in maintaining public safety and cleanliness by supporting weekly brush collection and storm debris removal throughout the community. The replacement has been budgeted, and investing in a newer model will ensure continued efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance our ability to respond promptly to weather-related events and routine service needs.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Sanitation Department for the Commission to approve this purchase.
