RE: Town of Firestone Engineering and Utilities Water Operations Trailer Purchase
Staff is recommending approving a sole sourced purchase with Complete Trailer LLC (Henderson, CO) for the Town
of Firestone Water Operations Division for a 22' Equipment trailer for a cost of $16,628.00 including delivery. The Water
Division currently does not have an adequate equipment trailer for primarily hauling an excavator or skid steer for water line
and water service line repairs. The three -axle trailer with tilt deck has an increased capability and adds to the safety of loading
and unloading heavier equipment used in Water Operations Division.
Prior research has shown that the above -mentioned trailer is a hard trailer to find and is competitively priced. When
researching the pricing of the 22 ft. Diamond C Flu 307 equipment trailers, they can range from $15,985 to $171395.
Online pricing (from out of State venders) are also as follows:
• Mirsberger Trailers (Hilbert, TX) $14,995
• Tri County Trailer Sales (Beaver, WV) $16,800
The above pricing also does not include local service and/or associated delivery costs. This request is related to in state
availability and local service.

George Hubert
