Contract AwardEquipmentDetected Jun 8, 2026

At the May 26, 2026 council meeting, Crosby approved the purchase of a 2026 GMC Sierra truck for the utilities division of public works. The truck costs $48,826 and will be bought from North Country GM in Hibbing off the state contract, funded by the city’s water fund instead of the original bond package due to capital plan constraints. This approval shows the city actively executing on a capital equipment replacement plan, with multiple trucks originally planned but scaled based on available funding.For fleet and equipment vendors, it identifies an existing relationship with state-contract dealer North Country GM and highlights continuing replacement needs for the remaining public works fleet, which may create future opportunities for vehicles, upfitting, telematics, and maintenance services.

Truck is funded from the water fund and used almost exclusively for utility functions, indicating utility operations as the primary internal client.
