The Street/Traffic Division for the Public Works Department will open bids on December 13th, to purchase two new 58,000 GVW 12 yard dump trucks with plows and sanders.  This purchase will replace two existing trucks that are included in the FY2017 Equipment Replacement Plan (ERP).  State law requires the City Council to consider bids at the next regular meeting after they are opened.  Since the agenda for the December 19 Council meeting will be published on December 12 and the bids will be opened on December 13, staff recommends that the Council table action on this item until the January 9, 2017 Council meeting.

There are no viable alternatives to the recommended action.

The vehicle replacements are budgeted in the FY 2017 Streets budget.

Staff recommends that the City Council table purchasing the two replacement trucks until the January 9, 2017 meeting.
