City of Orlando is authorizing $316,809 for a compressed natural gas garbage truck to further the City's Sustainability Initiative and supplement the City's CNG refuse trucks currently in service.
The purchase required the "use of the Florida Sheriff's Association Contract with Kenworth (Website) of Central Florida" for the purchase. This contract is the same contract that was required to purchase 35 motorcycles for the Police Department recently.
Fleet & Facilities Management Division Manager David Dunn approved the CNG refuse truck purchase. The truck is a Kenworth/ Heil rear loader (C16-0328).
"The Fleet Management Division and Solid Waste Management Division are requesting to utilize Florida Sheriff's Association Contract #15-13-0904 with Kenworth of Central Florida, of Orlando, Florida, for the purchase of one (1) 2016 Kenworth T880 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cab and chassis truck with a Heil DuraPack 5000 rear loader refuse body, at a total cost of $316,809.00, in accordance with the previously approved standardization of Heil refuse bodies for the City's Solid Waste Management fleet."
