Snow Plow: <br />The Hennepin County Purchasing Cooperative awarded bids to Superior Ford for the snow plow <br />equipment the City is requiring for this new truck. The equipment brand bid was unknown to the <br />Public Works Supervisor and he felt it would not be strong enough for the City's operations, <br />therefore it did not meet the City's specifications. Quotes were obtained from other vendors and <br />Truck Utilities Mfg., Co. provided a bid on a 8' Leo plow at $2,350.00 plus sales tax. The City <br />does have other Leo plows and has had good luck with them. <br /> <br />Topper: <br />As stated earlier, a topper is necessary for this vehicle because of the designated uses. At this <br />time it is not known how much a topper is although we feel it will be less than $500.00 to obtain <br />one that "fits" the vehicle. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Committee approval of the purchase of the following: <br /> <br />One 3/4 ton 4X4 Truck (Superior Ford) <br />One 8' Leo Plow (Truck Utilities Mfg., Co.) <br />One Topper (Vendor to be determined) <br />License/Registration <br /> Approximate Total <br /> <br />$ 20,605.62 <br /> 2,502.75 <br /> 500.00 <br /> 50.00 <br /> <br />$23,658.37 <br /> <br />While the total exceeds the budgeted amount of $23,000.00, we will attempt to trade the existing <br />unit but it is felt the overage can be absorbed within the general operating budget. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend Council approval of Resolution #96-02-XX Authorizing the Purchase of <br />One 3/4 Ton 4X4 With Snow Plow and Topper. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />Police Chief <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br />Public Works Supervisor <br /> <br />FC: 02/27/96 <br /> <br /> <br />
