Atlanta committee backs up to $4.2 million for equipment rentals across city departments

Atlanta’s City Utilities Committee voted unanimously Sept. 15 to recommend an amended resolution for equipment-rental agreements with Herc Rentals and United Rentals. Together, the proposed one-year, task-order agreements would have an initial ceiling of $4,202,000; committee support does not execute them.

The resolution describes rentals including refuse trucks and landscaping equipment for several city departments. It says the two-supplier approach is intended to keep equipment available and avoid service disruptions. The read record establishes that the committee amended the resolution, but not what the amendment changed.
