From the meeting
At the October 7, 2026 meeting staff said two trucks had been liquidated and another truck had blown up, creating a need for an unbudgeted replacement truck. No purchase was approved in the packet, but the need was explicit and immediate. Vehicle dealers and upfitters should watch for a replacement buy once the city decides how to fund it.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
