Given the challenges posed by the fluctuating tariffs, supply chain <br />uncertainties, and rising costs- taking swift action will allow us to avoid further financial impacts and <br />secure the vehicles we need at today's price. By acting now, we can ensure operational efficiency and <br />fiscal responsibility in the face of these evolving market conditions. <br />Through a budget amendment, the following vehicles have been budgeted in FY24/25, to replace <br />certain vehicles which have exceeded their useful and reliable service life. <br />Purchase Request: <br />Item Number: 9.6 <br />95 <br />
