SUBJECT: Purchase four (4) six yard Dump Trucks, one (1 ) four
yard Asphalt Patch Truck, one ( 1 ) 2 ,000 gallon Water

CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion approve specifications of four (4) six yard Dump
Trucks, one ( 1) four yard Asphalt Patch Truck, one ( 1 ) 2 ,000
gallon Water Truck, two (2) Utility Service Body Trucks with

contract award by the CAO to lowest responsible bid if within
the Estimate.
DISCUSSION:
The four (4) six yard Dump Trucks being purchased under these
specifications will replace three (3) dump trucks in the Public
Works Department and will provide a new Dump Truck authorized in
the CIP for Utilities Department, Wastewater Division.
The one (1 ) four yard Asphalt Patch Truck will replace 1478 , which
is a 1978 GMC four yard P.B. Asphalt Patch Truck in the Streets
Division.
The one (1 ) 2 ,000 gallon Water Truck will replace 963 , which is a
1963 Dodge Water Truck that is in the Parks Division.
The two ( 2) Utility Service Body Trucks with four yard dump bed
will replace 980 & 1080, which are service body dump trucks in the
Utility Department , Water Distribution Division. These existing
trucks are always overweight and are being upgraded to remedy this
problem.
All these vehicles are to be purchased from one supplier in order
to standardize our fleet. The specifications call for the engine
to be manufactured by Caterpillar Inc. When the City started
buying diesel engines in trucks, the industry standard was the
Detroit 8. 2 liter engine for trucks of this size. All of our
construction equipment and larger trucks than these have Cat.
engines. The Detroit 8.2 is no longer available. and many
manufacturers offer a choice of engines that include the Cat .
engine being specified. However, several truck manufacturers have
recently marketed their own engines and no longer offer other
engines.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
In order to limit the number of different engines that the shop
must work on, the city needs to have a standard engine that still
allows many truck manufacturers to bid. The Caterpillar engine,
which is available to all truck and equipment manufacturers, best
fits this need as all the larger engines owned by the city are
manufactured by Caterpillar.
This selection of a standard engine will limit the number of truck
manufacturers who are able to bid. Several of the manufacturers
have elected not to provide engines from other manufacturers in
this class of truck.
The following brands of truck are known to be able to bid this
specification: Chevrolet and GMC.
The following brands of trucks are known to be unable to bid this
specification: International and Ford.
The seven vehicles being replaced will be disposed of by the city's
contract auctioneer as soon as the new vehicles are in service.
Purchasing Procedure
The provisions of Purchasing Control Manual Section PC-403-3 apply
to this contract.
