Board approves $900 change order, raising new dump truck cost to $129,972.91
Summary
A resolution to add a battery-disconnect switch to the new 2026 Ram 5500 dump truck for $900 was adopted, increasing the purchase price from $129,072.91 to $129,972.91 and charging the cost to machinery budget line 5130.4.
Councilman Redinger read a resolution authorizing a change order for the purchase of a 2026 Ram 5500 dump truck to include a manufacturer-installed battery-disconnect switch at a cost of $900. The resolution states the total cost of the new truck "will now be $129,972.91" and authorizes payment from the town’s machinery budget line 5130.4.
The clerk called the roll and the change order passed. Council members said the battery-disconnect installation is required by the town’s insurance carrier and that the dealership must perform the work to integrate the switch with the vehicle’s engine control module.
