VEHICLE REPLACEMENT - (Mr. Lambrecht, Director of Maintenance Service)
As outlined in the CIP, the Maintenance Services Department budgeted to replace 1 large dump truck with plow – 2000 Sterling L7500. The truck is vital to the department to fight snow storms in the winter, haul rock, millings and spoils from job drainage job sites or loan to different departments. The Maintenance Services Department received a quote from Rush Truck Center off the NJPA bid for a 2020 HV507 International truck with a Monroe plow system for $128,227.12. We will sell the 2000 Sterling L7500 by sealed bid or on-line auction and put the proceeds back into drainage departmental projects. We had 2 trucks in the CIP for this year but purchased a backhoe in-place of one of the trucks as we do the CIP 5 years in advance and equipment needs sometimes require us to move on the projected list.

This is a CIP.
Amount Budgeted: $115,000.00 Actual Cost: $128,227.12 Under/(over) $13,227.12
