Council approves purchase agreement for new Freightliner dump truck; funding from street fund

Centerton — The City Council on Sept. 9 authorized the mayor and city clerk to enter into a purchase agreement with Industrial Truck Equipment (Colorado City, OK) for a Freightliner 108 SD chassis with dump bed and accessories, using the Sourcewell cooperative contract. Why it matters: Public works leaders cited heavy workload and the need for replacement equipment to maintain streets and respond to seasonal needs such as snow removal. The purchase is financed from the street fund; staff said funds are available. Details: Staff explained the truck will be ordered if approved and the quoted lead time is approximately eight months. The purchase is being made through Sourcewell (a cooperative purchasing agreement) and therefore does not require a separate bidding process. Council confirmed the purchase will come from the street fund and that the city has budgeted for it. Action: Council voted to adopt Resolution 2025‑36 authorizing the purchase agreement (roll call: Thompson: Yes; Henson: Yes; Reed: Yes; Hagen: Yes). Staff said the vehicle will be delivered next year and placed into the city's fleet.
