Board approves $24,990 purchase of six-wheel replacement truck for public works
Summary
Trustees authorized expenditure of $24,990 from general fund reserves to buy a six-wheel drive replacement dump truck with automatic transmission and plow capability; staff said the old truck will be sent to auction.
Town staff requested authorization to purchase a six-wheel replacement truck to support winter operations and steep mountain roads. Staff described the vehicle as a six-wheel drive unit with automatic transmission, plow capacity and the ability to carry magnesium chloride tanks; the asking price from a private seller was $24,990. Staff said three competitive price quotations were sought and that the selected vehicle had better mileage and condition than alternatives.
Trustees voted to approve the expenditure from general fund reserves by voice vote. Staff said the old truck will be sent to auction when replacement is complete and confirmed the vehicle's weight class does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL).
