CR 2004-125 Use Rear Loader Refuse Truck
CITY OF
~
July 29, 2004 HOPKINS Co unci I Report 2004-125
. APPROVE PURCHASE
OF ONE (1) USED REAR LOADER REFUSE TRUCK
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the purchase of a 1995
Freiqhtliner with a 2000 Leach Packer body from ABM Equipment for the price of $49.975.
Overview
Currently the City utilizes a rear loader type of refuse truck for the collection of yard waste and
bulk pick up items. It is also used as a backup for the automated refuse collection truck. The
current unit is a 1977 Ford with a Pac-Mar packer.
This unit was in the Equipment Replacement Fund scheduled to be replaced in 1996 with a
budget amount of $56,300. At that time it was decided to retain the existing truck and wait to
see what the future held for the City's Yard Waste Program. Subsequently the truck was
omitted from the ERP and has never been reinstated back into its 12-year schedule,
In April of 2004 we solicited bids for a used rear loader refuse truck as part of the bid for the
new Automated Refuse Truck. We received three bids:
1: A 2002 Sterling with Leach Packer for $79,750
2: A 2004 Sterling with Heil Packer for $97,550
3: A 2003 Sterling with Heil Packer for $94,550
. The lowest bid was $23,000 more than we had projected and the bid unit would have needed a
can tipper installed on the unit at an additional cost of $5,000. Due to the high bids we decided
to look at numerous used units that local vendors located for us. The result of this search is the
1995 Freightliner that we are proposing to purchase.
Staff's recommendation for the purchase of the 1995 Freightliner and 2000 Leach Packer is
based on the specifications and options supplied with this unit that will fit the needs of the City's
Refuse Department.
Primary Issues to Consider
. Is the purchase within the City's purchasing policy?
. How will purchase be funded?

. Detailed Background:
Currently the Sanitation Division of Public Works utilizes three refuse trucks to pick up the
City's refuse. Two of the trucks are Rapid Rail automated side loaders used to pick up the 30,
60, or 90-gallon containers. The third truck is a rear loading refuse truck used for yard waste,
bulk Items and a backup for the automated truck. The current unit is a 1977 Ford with a Pac-
Mor packer. This truck is 27 years old and is in poor condition. Because of the limited use of
this vehicle during the year staff feels that purchasing a new cab-chassis and packer is not
worth the estimated $120,000 expenditure. For this reason we decided to purchase a good
used refuse truck.
Analysis of Issues:
Is the purchase within the City's purchasinQ policy?
In April the City solicited formal Bids for a used refuse truck. We received three Bids and all
were in excess of our budget amount. Since that time Staff has viewed several used vehicles
and the proposed purchase is from one of the venders that supplied a bid in April.
How will purchase be funded?
The proposed purchase for the used 1995 Freightliner will be funded from the Refuse Utility
Fund. As mentioned previously this unit was dropped from the schedule several years ago. The
. current unit has served the city for 27 years and is in need of replacement.
