North Miami council approves up-to-$252,000 purchase of Freightliner patch truck, declares old vehicle surplus
The North Miami City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to issue a purchase order to Jet Vac Equipment Company LLC for a Freightliner patch truck at an approximate aggregate cost not to exceed $252,000, using cooperative purchasing under Sourcewell contract number 050625-FRM. The council also declared the city's existing vehicle surplus.

Councilman Kevin A. Burns moved approval; the clerk recorded a 5–0 vote to adopt the action. The city opened and closed the public hearing with no public comment before the vote.

Alberto Estrada, the city’s purchasing director, clarified that once the council approves surplus of the old equipment it will be scheduled for the next regularly scheduled auction and said, “I don't have that date with me, but I'll be glad to provide that for you.” The resolution cites the cooperative purchasing provision of the city code (section 7-169) and a Sourcewell contract as the procurement vehicle.

The council did not discuss financing sources in detail during the meeting; the procurement was presented as a routine replacement of aging equipment and tied to operational maintenance functions in public works.
