Description
Title: Approves a Purchase Order with Wagner Equipment CO for $551,045.00 for a one-time purchase of replacement of one asphalt paver, citywide (PO-0018280).
Summary
The document outlines a request from the City of Denver's General Services Purchasing Division for approval of a purchase order with Wagner Equipment Co. for a Caterpillar asphalt paving vehicle, costing $551,045. This purchase aims to replace an aging 2007 model within the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure's (DOTI) operational fleet. The request stems from the city's vehicle replacement strategy, approved by the City Council, as these older vehicles have become costly to maintain. The new vehicle is essential for efficient street maintenance operations, especially since there are currently no electric vehicle options available that meet operational requirements. This legislation impacts city operations and underscores the importance of maintaining a functional vehicle fleet for public services.
