BACKGROUND:
International HX620 tractors are specialized trucks used to transport large construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and loaders. Their low design makes it easier and safer to transport tall machines that might be too high for regular roads. These vehicles are important for city construction projects because they help move heavy equipment quickly and safely between job sites.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
Unit #11-235, currently in service with the Public Works Stormwater Division, is undersized and does not meet the requirements for safely and efficiently transporting the larger equipment needed for ongoing and future projects. These limitations have contributed to operational delays and reduced efficiency. To address this issue, Fleet Management recommends purchasing one 2026 International HX620 Tractor in the amount of $186,516, utilizing the Florida Sheriff's Association Agreement FSA23-VEH21.
FISCAL IMPACT:
A transfer from the Stormwater Reserve for Contingencies account 158-099-999-538-81-99800 will cover the purchase amount of $186,516. The attached budget resolution allocates funding to the appropriate accounts to facilitate this purchase.
