Board approves purchase of 2026 Freightliner truck after lower quote from Trans Chicago Truck Group
Summary
After soliciting three quotes for a streets division truck, staff recommended cancelling a prior international truck order and buying a 2026 Freightliner from Trans Chicago Truck Group for $114,440; the board approved the purchase.
An unidentified staff member presented the streets division's equipment procurement, saying the previously approved international truck had not been ordered and that staff solicited three quotes. "Trans Chicago Truck Group provided us with the lowest price on a new Freightliner truck," the presenter said, and staff recommended cancelling the prior order and purchasing the Freightliner for $114,440.
Trustees moved to approve the purchase; roll call recorded affirmative votes from Trustees Madrige, Salazar, Christiansen and Gaitley. The vote carried and staff will proceed with the purchase from Trans Chicago Truck Group.
The record did not include detailed vendor contract terms, trade-in values, or delivery dates beyond the presenter's note that quoted vendors could deliver the truck by the end of the fiscal year.
