Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the purchase of a long-line paint truck from EZ Liner in the amount of $388,287.00 on Sourcewell contract number 080521-EZ. The vehicle is needed to fulfill the City’s obligation to annually maintain long-line traffic markings citywide. The new vehicle will replace a 1998 GMC chassis custom paint truck that is unreliable, ten years beyond its recommended replacement date, and lacks emissions controls. Replacement with a like, new vehicle would cost $500,000-to-$600,000. Instead, this resolution authorizes purchase of a smaller, less expensive, and less polluting truck that will meet the City’s essential needs at significantly lower cost.
