The Public Works Agency's Water Resources <br />Division is in need of new dump trucks to replace older dump trucks that were purchased in 2001. <br />Due to the extensive use and age of these vehicles, the trucks have been proven to be unreliable <br />and very expensive to repair. <br />The Water and Sewer Enterprises have a total of five large dump trucks which are used by staff <br />to transport dirt and debris generated from ongoing repairs to the water and sewer system. Two <br />of the five dump trucks were replaced in February 2017. Replacement of the remaining three will <br />result in all large dump trucks being updated with newer and more reliable equipment. <br />Additionally, these trucks will now be fueled with compressed natural gas (CNG) which is in <br />alignment with the City's efforts to purchase alternative fuel vehicles to create an environmentally <br />responsible City fleet. <br />The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on September 11, 2018, on the City's online bid <br />management and publication system. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is as <br />follows: <br />22E-1 <br />
