Time Constraints:
The estimated time to order new trucks is 18 months. Delaying the approval of the contract could mean rolling out the beginning of the contract with rental trucks instead of having new equipment. This could incur additional costs, and implementation issues.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
Failure to authorize the contract would impact implementation timelines of the new contract at the expiration of the current contract.
