The proposed project will consist of the purchase of a new Automated residential garbage truck. At the time of replacement in 2020, the truck will be 7 years old and at the point of replacement. This project will be an ongoing truck replacement schedule for the two automated collection trucks the city has. 13-SW-001 AUTOMATED RESIDENTIAL TRUCK To maintain reliable equipment, the City schedules replacement of vehicles based on usage and life expectancy.
