PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Two bids were received by the Street/Traffic Division for the Public Works Department on December 3, 2019 to purchase a 12-yard dump truck with snow plow assembly and sander. This purchase will replace the existing unit 1192, a 2011 Freightliner 10-yard dump truck, with units 1292, a 2011 Schmidt Wausau snow plow and 1392, a Swenson sander. These are included in the FY20 Equipment Replacement Plan (ERP).
