Council approves ordering $350,312 electric utility truck for utilities department
Summary
The council approved ordering a larger electric utility truck for the utilities department; staff recommended the Altec quote for $350,312 with a 15–18 month lead time and said the vehicle will be included in the 2027 budget cycle, with no funds due now.
The Kiel City Council voted to authorize ordering a larger electric utility truck after staff presented three quotes and recommended a unit from Altec priced at $350,312.
Staff said the recommended truck has a 15–18 month lead time and would be included in the 2027 budget cycle; the city would place the order now but would not pay funds until the budgeted year. "The recommended one by the staff is from Altec for $350,312," the staff member said. Council members discussed the price and timing during the exchange and then moved to approve the purchase order.
The council recorded a motion and a second and carried the action; the transcript records council concurrence without further amendment. The vehicle will be tracked as a capital purchase in the utilities budget with staff follow-up on procurement and delivery timing.
