CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 01/24/2023 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution #23-031 Authorizing Purchase of Two Single Axle Plow Trucks 5. 15. Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #23-031 authorizing Staff to purchase two (2) new single axle plow trucks in 2023. Background: On January 10, 2023, the City Council received information from Staff during their work session regarding the costs and benefits to the City for ordering two (2) new single axle plow trucks in 2023 related to reducing the time required to plow all City streets to help meet the targeted timeline of 8-hours for full -City plow events, thereby minimizing overtime pay for plow drivers. Attached to this case is a copy of the agenda item from the January loth work session outlining the costs and benefits for purchasing two new single axle plow trucks. Upon adoption of Resolution #23-031, the Capital Improvement Program will be updated to remove the capital equipment request for replacing the 1999 John Deere motor grader in 2026. See attached CIP page 116 for reference. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Funding Source: The total estimated cost to purchase the two (2) new single axle plow trucks is $544,318 as outlined within the attached City Council work session case dated January 10, 2023. However, as previously noted, the request to replace the 1999 John Deere motor grader in 2026 will be removed from the Capital Improvement Program, which has an updated 2023 estimated cost of $487,000. Approving the purchase of these 2 plow trucks in 2023 will be committing an amount of $544,318 against the 2024 Property Tax Levy. Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolution #23-031. Action: Adopt Resolution #23-031 authorizing purchase of two (2) new single axle plow trucks. Attachments Resolution 23-031 01.10.23 CCWS case 09.13.22 Staff Memo
