- 27-cubic-yard automated side-loader body with a joystick-controlled arm
- Diesel engine meeting current EPA emissions standards
- 360-degree camera system and backup alarm
- Fleet white finish. The City supplies City seal decals for each door.
- Standard air horn, plus a secondary horn not to exceed 85 decibels for use on the Lil’ Chungus Elementary route (Specification 4.12)
- Warranties of at least three years on the chassis, two years on hydraulics and one year on the body
- On-site training for operators and mechanics at delivery
Trade-in of Unit S-11, a 2009 rear-loader, was an optional bid item. No bidder offered more than $1,500, so the City will sell Unit S-11 at public auction.
