Road Tractor Ordinance |
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this ordinance is to appropriate $121,526 from the Stormwater Fund balance to the Stormwater Capital Equipment Line to cover the cost for the purchase of a replacement Road Tractor. This is a companion item to the resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement to purchase a 2025 Freightliner PT126DC Road Tractor from Velocity Truck Centers, LLC, of Greensboro, NC.
BACKGROUND:
The existing Road Tractor to be replaced by this purchase is nearly 25 years old. This vehicle is utilized by the Operations Division, Stormwater and Streets, of the Public Works Department. It is an essential piece of equipment used to haul heavy equipment using a lowboy trailer, and it has a direct impact on the ability of Public Works to complete pipe, road, and sidewalk repairs, as well as to provide support for maintenance activities.
