BACKGROUND:
On December 28, 2022, Unit #06-273, a 2021 automated side loader refuse truck, was removed from service following an incident that caused significant damage to the unit. Following a thorough assessment completed on March 27, 2023, it was concluded that the repair expenses exceed the cost of replacing the truck, rendering restoration financially imprudent. As a result, the truck was declared a total loss. Funding for $477,837 was subsequently approved to acquire a new unit to replace Unit #06-273.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
Staff recommends acquiring a refuse truck that meets operational specifications to ensure efficient and reliable residential solid waste collection throughout the City. The replacement unit will be sourced from Nextran Truck Centers, utilizing the Florida Sheriffs Association Contract No. FSA25-VEH23.0, resulting in a total expenditure of $432,521. Unit #06-273 has been declared totaled and issued a Certificate of Destruction; it retains a salvage value of $4,003 and will be retained temporarily for use as a source of spare parts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agenda item is accompanied by a Budget Resolution authorizing the appropriation of $477,837 from the General Liability Claims Reserves. Of this amount, $432,521 will be designated for the purchase, while the remaining $45,316 will be allocated for future equipment needs. Funds will be distributed to account 453-023-602-534-66-64010 - Public Works Sanitation Machinery and Equipment.
