Public Works & Transportation Committee - 10/28/2025 - Agenda Item D1 - Trailers Purchase

The City of Oxnard's Public Works & Transportation Committee discussed and recommended approval for the purchase of new transfer trailers to support solid waste and green waste transport operations. The proposal includes acquiring four walking floor transfer trailers and seven deep drop tipper transfer trailers from Trailer Company Incorporated for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,400,000. This purchase aims to replace eight aging trailers that have surpassed their 20-year useful life, improving operational efficiency and compliance with state zero emission requirements. Funding for this acquisition is aligned with the 2024 cost of service study and includes a budget appropriation of $228,270 from the Environmental Resources Development Fee Fund 634, supplementing the existing fiscal year 2025-26 budget. The procurement followed a competitive bidding process, with Trailer Company Incorporated being the lowest bidder meeting all specifications and contractual provisions.
