Is Key Decision?: Yes
Is Callable In?: Yes
Purpose: Purchase of fleet for waste collection services
Content: To instruct the waste, recycling and street cleansing contractor to procure ten diesel refuse collection vehicles on behalf of the Council, at a total one-off capital cost of £2,557,500, to be funded from existing capital budgets. The decision will allow the authority to save hire costs on vehicles required to deliver the core services of the contract whilst still allowing a level of flexibility to transition to electric vehicles as the required infrastructure becomes available. Option 1 – To not approve the capital requirement for the purchase of the Authority Financed Assets and continue to hire the comparable vehicles. Option 2 - To approve the capital requirement for ten ready built diesel RCVs for the reasons set out in the report. This is the recommended option.
