THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Board is asked to authorize purchase of a 2026 Freightliner plow truck package from Viking-Cives for $250,411 using capital funds approved in the FY 27 budget. Public Works compared multiple dealers, with Viking-Cives selected as the preferred option and trucks already in stock. This confirms the incumbent equipment supplier for this procurement and signals an active fleet replacement program that may need future trucks, attachments, telematics, and maintenance support.
Prices include a $9,600 spreader option purchased separately; multiple vendors were considered.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
