AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff is recommending that the City Council approve a Fleet purchase.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The 2022 Fleet Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the purchase of a traffic management sign board
trailer. This would be the City’s second traffic management trailer since the original purchase of one in
2018. The recommended purchase of a second trailer originated within the City’s Safety Committee. All
departments have found a variety of ways to utilize the trailer and there are certain circumstances where
the City would greatly benefit from the addition of a second trailer. Staff is looking at adding an identical
trailer to the fleet so that operations staff are familiar with the operating systems of the trailer.
Staff has requested State contract quotes from Street Smart for the Ver-Mac PCMS-548/HYD which is the
same model that was purchased in 2018. Street Smart provided a quote of $16,520 for the traffic
management sign board trailer. This amount is within the $18,200 that was included in the 2022 CIP
budget for the purchase.
The Public Works Subcommittee was presented with this information at its February 16 meeting and
recommended that it be placed on consent agenda.
