The City of Longview is seeking to enter into a lease purchase agreement to finance the acquisition of three sanitation trucks, including two 2026 LR64 Dual Sitdown models with remounted bodies and one 2026 LR64 Dual Sitdown with a New Way Sideloader. The purpose is to facilitate the purchase and delivery of these vehicles during the 2024-2025 fiscal year, which runs from October 1 to September 30. The lease arrangement is structured so that upon the conclusion of the lease term, the lessor will release any liens on the trucks, ensuring the City owns the vehicles free and clear of any encumbrances. Submissions for the lease must be delivered either in person or by mail to the City’s Purchasing Office by the specified deadline of September 6, 2024, with late submissions deemed invalid. All questions regarding the solicitation should be submitted in writing, preferably via email.

The project falls under the NAICS code 532490, which pertains to other commercial and industrial machinery and equipment rental and leasing. Interested parties can find additional details and submit responses through the City of Longview’s official bidding portal. The initiative aims to support the City’s sanitation operations by upgrading its fleet with modern, reliable refuse trucks through a structured lease purchase arrangement.
