City reviews $635,000 quote for new vactor truck; demo planned
Summary
Operations Manager Gabe Aschbacher told commissioners Sourcewell quoted a new vactor truck at $635,000, staff will demo a new model, the current truck is ten years old, and the DPW has expressed interest in the old unit. The commission did not make a purchase at the meeting.
Operations Manager Gabe Aschbacher reported that Sourcewell had provided an estimate of $635,000 for a new vactor (vacuum) truck and said wastewater staff will conduct a demonstration of a candidate vehicle and its features. Aschbacher said the current vac truck is ten years old and that staff are waiting for a trade-in value; the Department of Public Works has expressed interest in acquiring the existing truck.
No purchase motion or approval was recorded at the June 15 meeting. Aschbacher said the city would be notified when the trade-in value is available; the minutes record this as part of the operations update rather than a separate action item.
