Background and Analysis:
A refuse container hauler is a specialized truck used to transport commercial front-load refuse containers (dumpsters) to and from customer sites. The existing 2009 diesel-powered vehicle is due for lifecycle replacement.
The existing vehicle qualifies for funding through the Washington State Department of Ecology’s 2025 Air Quality Volkswagen Grant Program, Rails, Keels, and Wheels (Grant). The City applied for and was awarded $363,678.64 in grant funding to replace the diesel internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with an electric vehicle (EV). The City already has the necessary charging infrastructure to support the replacement vehicle.
The proposed Resolution authorizes the City Manager to sign the Supplemental Terms and Conditions Agreement with Western Peterbilt, LLC, for the purchase of an electric refuse container hauler at a total cost of $484,904.86. Staff conducted an extensive review of available vehicle options and identified a vehicle that meets Waste ReSources’ operational requirements. The vehicle will be procured through the Sourcewell Battle Motors, Inc. Master Contract No. 032824-CRN, with Western Peterbilt, LLC, doing business as Dobbs Peterbilt, serving as the vendor.
