RE: Approve Purchase of Four (4) Refuse Trucks for the Sanitation Division of the
Department of Public Works ($1,022,080)
BACKGROUND
The 2020 and 2021 Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) included an allocation of $600,000 in
each year ($1,200,000 total) for the Public Works Department/Sanitation Division to replace a total
of four (4) refuse trucks. On July 28, 2020, Council approved Resolution 20-339, waiving the
purchasing requirements relating to the advertisement, competitive proposals, and bidding as set
forth in Chapter 12 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code and allowing staff to negotiate the
purchase of these refuse trucks.
ANALYSIS
The Sanitation Division has negotiated a price from McNeilus for the four (4) refuse trucks that
is well within the budget for these trucks.
FISCAL IMPACT
The quote for these four (4) refuse trucks totals $1,022,080. Funding is available in the 2020 and
2021 CIP (Account #03230470-7210-66017 Sanitation Division-Motor Vehicles-Automated
Sideload Refuse Truck).
RECOMMENDATIONS
On July 28, 2020, the Common Council approved Resolution 20-339, waiving the purchasing
requirements of Chapter 12 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code. Staff have negotiated with
McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc., a Division of Oshkosh Corporation, to obtain a quote
for four (4) new side-loading refuse trucks that meet the operational and safety needs of the
Sanitation Division and meet the budgetary requirements of the CIP.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this purchase.
Approved:
