FC CASE <br /> <br />AUTHORIZE PURCHASE OF ONE 1-TON PICK-UP WITH DUMP BOX <br /> By: Jessie Hart, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Included in the 1997 Adopted General Fund Budget is $25,000.00 for the purchase of a I-ton <br />truck equipped with a dump box. This truck is used primarily for parks and utilities and is an <br />addition to the fleet to meet the needs of the parks and utilities departments. It is not anticipated <br />that this truck will be utilized in snow plow operations other than to be available to transport the <br />skid steer loader for snow removal operations [such as around hydrants]. It should be noted that <br />this purchase had been delayed pending budget ammendment recommendations from the <br />Park/Utilities Supervisor for budget line items that are significantly over budget. These items <br />and issues should have been addressed and taken care of in a case earlier on this agenda. <br /> <br />As members of the Hennepin County Purchasing Cooperative, we have the opportunity to <br />purchase equipment and vehicles through contracts already subjected to the statutory bidding <br />laws, eliminating the need to go through the bidding process ourselves. <br /> <br />1-Ton Truck with Dump Box: <br />The Hennepin County Purchasing Cooperative let bids for light trucks for 1997 and Superior <br />Ford received the award. Superior Ford's bid, which meets the City specifications for a 1-ton <br />truck is $19,164.00. Superior will also provide the dump box manufactured by Crysteel Truck <br />and Equipment at a price of $4,150.00 [includes an estimate of $200 for hinged sides on the <br />dump box]. The total price, including sales tax would be $24,830.00, which does not include <br />licenses fees which should be less than $100.00. This amount is within the budgeted amount of <br />$25,000.00. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Committee approval of the purchase of the following: <br /> <br />One 1-ton Truck with Dump Box (Superior Ford) <br />License/Registration <br /> Approximate Total <br /> <br />$ 24,830.00 <br /> 100.00 <br /> <br />$ 24,930.00 <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend Council approval of Resolution #97-10-XX Authorizing the Purchase of <br />One 1-Ton With Dump Box. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />Acting City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />Fire Chief <br />Public Works Supervisor <br /> <br />FC: 10/28/97 <br /> <br /> <br />
