Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the purchase of a 2025 Freightliner 108SD 4X4 single axle plow truck chassis from Boyer Trucks for a total amount of $154,977.83.
The 2014-2015 Fleet Study found that, to minimize total City vehicle costs for purchase and maintenance, vehicles and associated attachments of this kind should be replaced when they reach 10 years old. This chassis will replace a 2012 International 7500 single axle plow truck. This purchase is budgeted in the 2025 City of Duluth capital equipment plan. This purchase is under Minnesota State contract No. 242593, Release T-647(5).
