Description
Title: Approves a Purchase Order with Wagner Equipment CO for $730,205.00 for a one-time purchase of replacement of one asphalt paver, citywide (PO-00180809).
Summary
The proposed legislation involves a purchase order for one 2026 Caterpillar asphalt paver, costing $730,205, to replace an aging vehicle in the City of Denver's transportation fleet. Managed by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI), this initiative addresses vehicle replacements identified during the budget process. The approved request aims to enhance street maintenance operations, particularly given the lack of electric vehicle alternatives for the required operational tasks. The contract, requested by the General Services Purchasing Division, is significant as it ensures the city maintains efficient road infrastructure. The request is citywide in impact and was previously approved by City Council as part of the 2026 fleet budget.
