Council approves purchase of new public‑works truck including utility bed for $54,900
Summary
After reviewing quotes and lead times, the council authorized purchase of a new service truck with utility bed from Garber Ford for $54,900 and asked staff to seek reasonable delivery timing; the utility bed availability drove procurement timing concerns.
Council reviewed multiple vendor quotes for a public‑works service truck and utility bed, including turnaround times. Members assessed whether to buy a 3/4‑ton truck and discussed bed availability (the council noted utility beds were the primary supply constraint with timelines of 12–26 weeks cited by dealers).
The council voted to buy a vehicle from Garber Ford for $54,900 (including the utility bed). The motion to purchase was recorded and carried; staff were instructed to emphasize reasonable lead‑time expectations when placing the order so the truck becomes available as soon as possible.
