RE: Waiving Bid Process for Purchasing Lodal Refuse Collection Truck
ISSUE :
Whether to develop specifications for solicitations of bids for a 20yd., side-loading refuse
collection vehicle or waive the purchasing requirements.
BACKGROUND:
The Solid Waste Division of Public Works consists of four Lodal side-loading 20 yd.
refuse collectiontrucks. Lodal was selected as the best truck for our applications and is.
our choice for the continued expansion of our collection fleet.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that purchasing requirements be waived and a 20 yd. side
loading Lodal refuse collection vehicle be purchased. A change of vehicle type would
require additional cross training of crews, parts inventory, P.M. requirements, may not be
compatible with cart tipping devices or carts, additional supply vendor and our fleet would
not be uniform. Eventually we will have a back up truck to provide service in the event of
a breakdown and we would like this truck to be an older 20 yd. Lodal.
Keeping our fleet uniform will enable this department to continue a high level of service to
the community. .
