Nogales council approves ADOT agreements to buy water truck and street sweeper
Summary
The council approved two intergovernmental agreements with the Arizona Department of Transportation to procure a 12,000-gallon water truck and an Elgin Broom Bear street sweeper, confirming these purchases were previously budgeted and noting ADOT will process reimbursement; staff will clarify contract oversight.
The Nogales City Council on July 15 approved two intergovernmental agreements with the Arizona Department of Transportation to move forward on procurement of a 12,000-gallon water truck and an Elgin Broom Bear street sweeper.
Mayor presented Order 2026-07-039 for an ADOT procurement of a 12,000-gallon water truck (IGA 26-0011753-I) and Order 2026-07-040 for an Elgin Broom Bear street sweeper (IGA 26-0011754-I). City staff described the IGAs as procedural additions to previously approved purchases.
Councilmember Montiel asked whether Judy Gerardo from Public Works would handle contract review and oversight. The city manager said he would "look into it and clarify the process" and described the IGAs as cleanup items to add to paperwork on earlier approvals.
Eric Stewart of Public Works said the items were budgeted and that ADOT is seeking council approval to process payment so the city can be reimbursed. "This is an old document. ADOT's trying to get us to approve so they can go ahead and process the payment and so that we can be reimbursed," Stewart said, and added the city is expected to provide a roughly 6% local match on the grant.
Both IGAs were approved by voice vote during the meeting. The city did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the motions passed after members vocalized support. The council also agreed to remove a separate Item 6 from the agenda at the applicant's request to allow boundary clarification before that matter returns to the council.
City staff will complete the administrative steps for the ADOT agreements and confirm who will manage contract oversight and final processing.
