City officials plan to replace its vehicles’ faulty tires through a $160,000 contract with Tarulli Tire Inc., according to the staff report.
The Fleet Management Department requires city vehicles to get replacement tires as part of routine maintenance, according to the staff report. Tarulli Tire Inc., the lower of two bidders, will provide new or recapped tires as city vehicle tires wear out or become damaged. Recapped tires are used, when appropriate, to conserve natural resources, according to the staff report.
The contract features two one-year renewal options, although costs are subject to price increases, the staff report read.
