DATE: November 16, 2021
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Industrial Power Truck & Equipment, through the
TIPS Cooperative Purchasing Network Contract # 200802, for the purchase of one (1) Isuzu/NewWay rear
load refuse truck for the Solid Waste Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and
providing an effective date (File 7834 – awarded to Industrial Power Truck & Equipment, in the not-to-
exceed amount of $154,797.49). The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (6 - 0).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
This request is for the purchase of one (1) rear load refuse truck for the Solid Waste Department. The 2020
model truck is available (already built) with an Isuzu FTR chassis with a NewWay 11-yard Viper refuse
body.
The cab-over chassis and 11-yard body combine to make a mini-rear loader that is easier to maneuver, has
improved accessibility, and because of the smaller footprint, reduces overall carbon emissions compared to
larger collection vehicles. Solid Waste will assign this vehicle to a Crew Leader to serve as a mobile office
while assisting with customer concerns such as collecting missed trash and recycling, verifying service
delivery, and managing various field activities. The vehicle’s maneuverability will allow for improved
customer service response time. This vehicle is ideally suited for staff to serve scattered areas and efficiency
gains would be immediate because of this vehicle’s fuel economy. Most important, this vehicle allows for
the manageability of waste spills and ensures that spills are cleaned up within the required guidelines.
The Texas Administrative Code Title 30, Chapter 330, section 330.107 states “Persons transporting solid
waste shall not discharge or allow the discharge of solid waste from the vehicle on the way to the municipal
solid waste facility. If a discharge of waste occurs during transportation, the transporter shall take immediate
action to contain the waste and to clean up and remove the discharged waste to an approved solid waste
management facility.”
This refuse truck was originally ordered by another municipality and recently became available for purchase
through Industrial Power Truck & Equipment. Due to the worldwide micro-chip shortage, all manufacturers
are limiting 2022 model production, and the availability of vehicles will be limited.
Pricing obtained through The Interlocal Purchasing System has been competitively bid and meets the
statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.
