Board authorizes replacement service truck; FY27 budget had line item
Summary
The board authorized purchase of a replacement service truck from Victorville Motors and Summit Truck Equipment; the purchase was appropriated in the FY2027 budget and the motion included a purchase price read into the record.
The board authorized the Department of Water and Power to purchase a replacement service truck (cabin/chassis and utility bed) from Victorville Motors and Summit Truck Equipment after staff presented procurement findings.
Jason Hall said the truck is part of the standard vehicle replacement plan; staff found a 2025 Ram in Victorville and designed a utility bed to match the department's needs. Board members noted the FY2027 budget included an appropriation of $185,000 for the item and asked staff to document Sourcewell comparables. During the motion, a purchase price was read into the record and the board voted to authorize the purchase.
Board members emphasized clarity in the motion about the approved amount and that staff should not purchase outside the approved authorization. Staff responded that they would include the total price in the motion language and confirm procurement comparables in future reports.
