ITEM SUMMARY:
On April 21, 2025, the City Council authorized the purchase of Purchase of Three 2026 Freightliner 114SD Plus
Single Axle Truck Chassis and Two 2026 Freightliner 114SD Plus Tandem Axle Chassis from TRANSCHICAGO
TRUCK GROUP in an amount not to exceed $694,263.00. At the time of authorization, due to the current tariff
environment, staff were unsure if there would be any additional cost for the purchase.

On September 18, 2025, the City was notified that all trucks were built and ready for pickup on full payment. The
total invoice amount is $713,878, which includes $19,615 for additional costs due to tariffs. The vendor attributed
the additional cost to federal tariffs on imported materials and parts used in the manufacturing and assembly
process. To date, a payment of $694,263 has been processed. Staff have inspected the trucks but have not taken
delivery of any of the trucks due to outstanding payment amount of $19,615. Once received, the trucks will be sent
for upfitting.

The tariff payment will be funded through Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF) 04-34-39-4804. Please
refer to attached spreadsheet for the purchase and budget summary for all five trucks.

ACTIONS PROPOSED:

That the West Chicago City Council authorize Change Order No. 1 with the TRANSCHICAGO TRUCK GROUP for
the purchase of Three 2026 Freightliner 114SD Plus Single Axle Truck Chassis and Two 2026 Freightliner 114SD
Plus Tandem Axle Chassis in an amount not to exceed $19,615.00 for a revised amount not to exceed
