Board approves $271,660 replacement dump truck, exceeding 2025 budget
Summary
Perkiomen Township approved purchase of a 6-wheel Peterbilt cab and Intercon auger body for a total of $271,660 to replace a 1999 GMC; the cost exceeds the 2025 budgeted $260,000 but was approved unanimously.
Road Master Shawn Motsavage presented two quotes to replace a 1999 GMC dump truck: a Peterbilt cab and chassis for $134,670 and an Intercon dual auger muni body for $136,990, for a total purchase price of $271,660. Motsavage said both vendors are listed on CoStars and that potential tariff impacts could affect final cost but were uncertain at the time of the meeting.
Board members noted the purchase price is higher than the $260,000 budgeted amount for 2025 but voted 5-0 to approve the purchase. The Township Manager was authorized to sign purchase documents consistent with the approved quotes.
