AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff is recommending the City Council approve a fleet vehicle purchase.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The 2026 Fleet Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the purchase of a dump trailer. This will be the City’s second
dump trailer. It is one of the most frequently shared pieces of equipment and they allow the one-ton trucks with
dump bodies to be used on additional projects. The dump trailers allow for easier loading and unloading of materials
with their low height and allow the hauling of bulky items very efficiently. The City replaced a dump trailer last year
and it is the intent to get the exact same trailer for ease of use and familiarity with operations.
Staff have requested a state contract quote from M&G Trailer Sales and received a quote of $19,490.48. This amount
is within the 2026 CIP budget of $19,500. The Public Works Subcommittee was presented this information at their
January 21, 2026, meeting and recommend consideration of approval by the City Council.
