INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: June 12. 2018
To: Harvey Robinson, Interim City Manager
From: Andrew Vasquez, Finance Director
RE: Sale of 2 Grapple Trash Trucks
Mr. Robinson,
The City purchased 9 large grapple to replace the 10 small trucks after the flood. The City was able to
put 5 of the small trucks back in service. Management has decided that 7 of the new large trucks
plus 5 of the small trucks are sufficient to service the 7 established routes. Under the circumstances,
we believe it is in the City's best interest to sell the last two trucks received. The City paid $199,837
for each truck.
The last two trucks delivered are stored on City property and unused. According to the company that
sold the trucks, orders for these types of trucks are backlogged to the first quarter of next year. They
are priced well and the City should be able to sell them for the price paid.
If the City wishes to sell these trucks, the City could put a bid to sell at a set price and evaluate offers.
We are hopeful that the City will recover the full price paid for the trucks.
We recommend selling the 2 new trucks that are currently stored.
"Remember,we are here to serve the Citizens of Port Arthur"
