The Orion Township Parks and Recreation department will be purchasing a new dump truck to replace the 1990 Chevrolet dump truck they currently use, which has a rusted out dump box and over 65,000 miles.
The department will purchase a 2005 GMC Sierra 3500 through the Oakland County Bid Program for $34,687, which will take 10-12 weeks for delivery.
The new truck will become the main work truck for the department, and will also be equipped with a snow plow, which will be budgeted for in 2006.
Once the new truck is received, the township will advertise to sell the old dump truck.
