THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district is seeking board approval to purchase a 2027 Dodge Ram 5500 flatbed with 12-foot bed and lift gate for $127,762.72 to replace Unit 3594, a 1986 GM C70 flatbed. The truck is budgeted in the FY 2026-27 capital replacement plan and a quote has been obtained via Sourcewell through National Auto Fleet Group and CTEC. The primary sourcing decision is effectively made, but vendors of upfitting, maintenance, telematics, and emergency equipment can target follow-on needs for this and future replacements.
Truck procured via Sourcewell contract 081326-NAF; includes Palfinger lift gate and custom flatbed from CTEC.
