Upon further evaluation of both units, staff has determined Unit 516 should be replaced this year. Unit 275 will be deferred to 2027. Equipment are scored for replacement on four criteria: age, usage, condition and repair costs. Recommending equipment for replacement requires a minimum score of 28.0 or higher. Unit 516 scored 35.6.

Vehicle and large equipment replacements for Public Works are expensed to the Vehicles and Equipment account listed below. Public Works did not include funds for replacing Unit 516 in the 2026 budget. However, since Unit 275 will be deferred to 2027, there are sufficient funds in the 2026 budget to accommodate the replacement of Unit 516. The 2026 budget included $325,000 for this replacement.
