Summary
The Highway Committee recommended Borough Council authorize purchase of a 2026 International dump truck (~$215,997), a 2026 Ford F-250 utility pickup (~$80,738) and a 2026 Ford F-350 flatbed (~$90,171). Each purchase was recommended to be procured through Costars contracts and placed on the March 9 consent agenda.
Staff requested committee authorization to purchase three model-year 2026 trucks for Public Works: an International dump truck with upfitting estimated at $215,997, a Ford F-250 utility-bed pickup with upfitting and a five-year Ford Premium Care warranty estimated at $80,738, and a Ford F-350 flatbed pickup with upfitting estimated at $90,171. The committee noted each estimated cost is within the respective 2026 budget allowances and recommended forwarding the purchase authorizations to Borough Council for approval.
Each vehicle is proposed to be procured via Costars contracts with named vendors: the dump truck through A&H Equipment and Ascendance Truck Center (for chassis and body), and the F-250 and F-350 through E.M. Kutz, Inc. and New Holland Auto Group for upfitting and chassis, respectively. The committee record specifies contract numbers used for vendor selection.
The committee placed the purchase requests on the March 9 consent agenda. The committee record does not include final Council authorization or delivery schedules; noted delivery timing is model-year 2026.
