Purchase Order Amendment to Accelerate Optional Year Funds for Mini Dump Trucks for Fleet Services

This is the first purchase order amendment to this contract, and would advance approved funding from: - Optional year terms 2 and 3, in the amount of $4,666,525 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($4,748,656 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to optional year term 1. - Optional year term 4, in the amount of $4,188,056 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($4,261,766 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), to optional year term 2. The total original purchase order award value in the amount of $15,429,282 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($15,700,837 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) remains unchanged, as approved by the Bid Award Panel ( BA116.4 ). The amendment supports the timely replacement of aging assets, reduces the State of Good Repair backlog, and aligns with Council-approved carbon reduction targets. Fleet Services Division has determined that the current purchase order value is insufficient to meet the 2026 replacement requirements and approved funding to address existing State of Good Repair backlog. This amendment will enable the procurement of twenty-three (23) units in 2026, thereby supporting operational reliability and cost efficiency by removing older trucks from service, reduce maintenance cost. Addressing the State of Good Repair will reduce fuel consumption and emissions with more efficient vehicles and support the City's greenhouse gas reduction targets under the Council-approved Carbon Budget. Newer gas engine Class 4 and 5 trucks incorporate improved engine technology and enhanced emissions controls, contributing to cleaner operations and broader sustainability objectives. The body build, including installation and final vehicle assembly are performed by Commander Industries, a Canadian-based business (as defined in the Mayor's Economic Action Plan in Response to US Tariffs, adopted by the Executive Committee on March 18, 2025), located in Strathroy, Ontario. Depending on the configuration, approximately 40 percent to 55 percent of the total vehicle cost is assembled in Canada.
