City Council 6 26 25 Agenda Item M 1 6th Amendment BTR

The City Council of Oxnard discussed and approved the sixth amendment to the rental agreement with Big Truck Rental LLC for refuge collection vehicles. The amendment extends the contract term to June 30, 2026, with an additional amount of $1,226,541, bringing the total contract value to $6,345,760. This extension is necessary due to aging vehicles, ongoing maintenance, and regulatory inspections impacting fleet availability. The Environmental Resources Division continues to rely on rental vehicles to maintain uninterrupted residential and commercial refuse collection services while evaluating cost-effective procurement strategies for future vehicle acquisitions, including compliance with state zero-emission requirements. Funding for the rental agreement has been requested in the proposed Environmental Resources Fund budget for fiscal year 2025-26, with anticipated revenue generation to support these expenses through fiscal year 2028-29.
