Decision details

PURCHASE OF REFUSE VEHICLES

Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Streetscene

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Purchase of 1 No used refuse narrow track 4 x 2 lorry at £22,250 and 1 No used DAF 7.5 tonne caged vehicle at £6,500 from Bolsover District Council.

Purchase funded via the Council's approved capital replacement programme.

Vehicles are purchased via end of lease option from BDC's lease provider. Vehicles have full service history and second hand trade valuations represent good value to the Council.

Reasons for the decision:

To meet Refuse service delivery needs in arising from current relief vehicles reaching the end of their effective period of utilisation.

Alternative options considered:

Replacement of vehicles by way of hire/lease is not considered to offer good value to the Council.

Outright purchase of the use vehicle is considered the most cost effective option and provides greater flexibility in how the asset is managed by way of extended vehicle utilisation.
