Board approves purchase of 2026 Peterbilt dump truck; older unit declared surplus
Summary
The Board approved purchase of a 2026 Peterbilt 567 dump truck for $334,261.91 (budgeted to Wastewater Fund 200) and declared Unit #20945 (1988 Freightliner, 224,433 miles) surplus to be sold at auction; the purchase replaces two older units and complies with CARB engine requirements.
Field Operations Manager Nathan Porter asked the Board to approve purchasing a 2026 Peterbilt 567 dump truck (quote obtained from Rush Truck Center through Sourcewell) at a total fiscal impact of $334,261.91, including tax. Porter said the new truck will replace Unit #20945 (a 1988 Freightliner with 224,433 miles) and Unit #20949 (already sold at auction). The purchase is budgeted to the Wastewater Fund 200 and is below the budgeted amount.
Porter explained that Unit #20945 has exceeded its typical service life and that the new truck meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) diesel-engine regulations. The Board approved the purchase and directed that Unit #20945 be declared surplus and sent to auction for disposal; the motion was seconded and passed 4–0 with one absence.
The minutes do not list a delivery date, vendor contract terms beyond the Sourcewell quote, or a projected net auction recovery for the surplus vehicle.
