BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
Units 225 and 266 were reviewed and approved by the Fleet Economic Committee and Fleet Services Manager for replacement in the 2023 budget. Vehicles are scored for replacement based on four criteria: age, usage, condition and repair costs.
Recommending a vehicle for replacement requires a score 28.0 or greater. Unit 251 scored 40.41 and Unit 266 scored 28.68.
DISCUSSION:
Unit 225 is a 2008 International 7400 single-axle dump truck with plow and Unit 266 is a 2012 International 7400 tandem-axle dump truck with plow used by the Department of Public Works - Operations Division. Units are used for the leaf collection program, winter operations and to move materials and spoils to and from worksites throughout the City.
The retired vehicles will be sold through one of the City's auction companies and replaced with 2025 Peterbilt 548 dump trucks with plows and will have the same axle configurations as the current units. The Peterbilt 548 units maintain fleet conformity, as this is the update to the Peterbilt 338, which is no longer available.
The new dump trucks are available on the Sourcewell Cooperative, an approved cooperative through JX Peterbilt, Contract #060920-PMC, expiring August 1, 2024.
There was a higher than usual increase in cost due to the new model. Using the City's specifications, JX Peterbilt has quoted the 2025 Peterbilt 548 dump trucks with plows in the amount of $624,856.36 (Unit 225: $296,857.15 and Unit 266 $327,999.21; a cost breakdown is provided below.
