CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 10
Placement: Consent
Meeting Date: August 25, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Billy Haas, Public Works Superintendent
Greg Ray, Public Works Director/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Purchase of Public Works Dump Truck
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of a replacement dump truck from Central Coast Truck Center in the amount of $168,806.63; and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for the purchase.
BACKGROUND
As part of the FY 2025-26 budget, the Council approved funding for a new dump truck for the Public Works Department. The current dump truck is from 1990 and is far beyond its useful service life, requiring extensive repairs to both the mechanical and safety systems. This truck is used for all Public Works operations including hauling streets and parks materials and helping with excavation related to water and sewer utility repairs and upgrades.
In accordance with the Public Contract Code, the City can use the bid of another agency through a collective purchasing agreement to purchase this vehicle. Staff selected a bid through a collective purchasing agreement with Sourcewell which leads to significant savings in time and money by enabling the City to capitalize on the work of other agencies and not have a separate bidding process.
FISCAL IMPACT
The purchase will be split up between three funds given the various uses of the vehicle pursuant to the City’s cost allocation formula. The total cost of $168,806 will be funded with $84,404 from the General Fund, $42,202 from the Water Enterprise Fund, and $42,202 from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:
1. Approve the purchase of a new Public Works dump truck for $168,806.63 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract for the purchase; or
2. Do not approve the purchase of a new dump truck; or
3. Provide staff with additional direction.
