DISCUSSION
City Council approval is being requested to enter into a contract for the purchase of three
six-wheel drive, model LT-9500 Dump Trucks. Additionally, it is requested that the City
Council approve the option to purchase one additional unit at the contracted price,

dump truck is expected to be required during Fiscal Year 2007. The current purchase will

budgeted replacement cycle of dump trucks is 15 years.
The bid was advertised on May 6, 2006, and 33 potential bidders were notified of the bid
opportunity; three are Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), none are Womenowned
Business Enterprises (WBEs), and five are Long Beach businesses. The bid
document was made available from the Purchasing Division located on the Plaza Level of

is sent to 32 local, minority and women’s business groups. Peck Road Truck Center of
