Title
Resolution to Authorize the Purchase of Four Automated Side Load Drop Frame Refuse Trucks on Autocar Chassis' from Fredrickson Supply (Sourcewell: $2,179,549.20)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of two automated side load drop frame refuse trucks on Autocar chassis with Labrie refuse drop frame bodies at $526,066.40 each, and two automated dual arm side load drop frame refuse trucks on Autocar chassis with Labrie refuse drop frame bodies at $563,708.20 each totaling $2,179,549.20. This purchase will be made through the Sourcwell government cooperative purchasing program (#110223-LEG) for the Solid Waste Unit of the Public Services Area.

The new trucks will feature diesel-powered chassis as EV chassis cannot accommodate drop frames at this time.

The new refuse trucks will replace the following trucks: #8636: 2020 Autocar automated side load drop frame refuse truck with 9,253 hours, #8637: 2020 Autocar automated side load drop frame refuse truck with 9,108 hours, #8647: 2020 Autocar automated side load drop frame refuse truck with 9,449 hours, #8648: 2020 Autocar automated side load drop frame refuse truck with 9,449 hours. With an 18-to-22-month delivery window, the existing trucks will exceed their useful life when removed from service.
