B | Consideration and Approval of Contract: Purchase of one (1) 2020 Caterpillar 730 EJ Articulated Haul Truck (Haul Truck). | ||||||
Councilmember Whelan asked why an RFP was not done. Solid Waste Director Todd Hanson stated that it was done through a Cooperative Purchase Agreement that allowed better leverage of buying power because a number of cities participated in the contract. Councilmember Whelan asked where the funding for the purchase was coming from. Mr. Hanson explained that the Landfill’s Capital Fund would be covering the purchase cost. |
