ITEM S: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
REQUEST FOR REPAIRS TO A REFUSE TRUCK
Mr Carr presented the item, stating that the 1992 Lodal refuse truck has been out of service for
several weeks. The vehicle maintenance personnel have determined that the extent of the
problem and maintenance needed is beyond their expertise. Therefore, a cost estimate for
repairs was solicited from Alsuma Truck & Equipment Repair in Tulsa. Alsuma has a fully
qualified staff of mechanics that specialize in the repair of refuse collection equipment. On July
7th, Alsuma personnel advised staff that the universal joint assembly would need to be
completely replaced, and that there are other components needing repair as a result of the
damage to the universal joint. The cost for repair parts is $9726.08. Because this vehicle is not
available for use, staff has had difficulty completing the refuse routes with the equipment that
is available and, in some instances, the routes have not been completed. There is concern on
the part of staff that not picking up the refuse could constitute a health hazard in this hot
weather. After conferring with the authority attorney, staff requested that an emergency be
declared and competitive bidding to purchase the repair parts be waived. Dr Standridge moved,
seconded by Mr Wilken, to declare that an emergency exists and waive competitive bidding
under Title 60, Section 176(H) of the Oklahoma Statutes, and authorize the purchase of repair
parts for a 1992 Lodal refuse collection vehicle through Williams Refuse Equipment Co Inc at
a cost of $9726.08; and authorization for payment.
AYE: Standridge, Wilken, Voss, Barnhouse, Bode
