Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into contracts for CDL Training with TRAINCO Truck Driving School; authorizing the expenditure of $74,000 from the Special Assessment Services Fund for Commercial Driver License Training (CDL); and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance is requesting to expend no more than $74,000 from the Special Assessment Services Fund to send current employees from the Department of Transportation and the Division of Urban Beautification to TRAINCO Truck Driving School to get their Commercial Driver License. These employees either do not have a CDL or currently have a class B and would like to be upgraded to a class A license.
If approved this will give employees growth within the division and or city. The license that they will train for will be a Class A pintle hook license which will allow the driver to drive a dump truck that can tow a large trailer with equipment. Currently there are twenty-three (23) employees signed up for these classes. Lastly, a request for proposal was posted for bids and TRAINCO was the only company to respond.
