BACKGROUND:
Units 026 and 087, along with their trailers, Units 454 and 465, were reviewed and approved by the Fleet Services Manager for replacement in the 2025 budget and were deferred to 2026. Vehicles and equipment are scored for replacement based on four criteria: age, usage, condition, and repair costs. Recommending equipment for replacement requires a score of 28.0 or greater.
