TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />Ron Moortc, City Administraior <br />John R. Gcrhardson, PuWk Works Director <br />January 4, 1904 <br />SUBJECT: Equipment Purchase Utility Vehicle <br />w <br />Currently the PubiK Works Department operates a 19»4 CMC 3/4 ton pickup for service and <br />use in the sewer and water departments. The vehicle has in excess of 10.»,000 miles and is due <br />for replacenwnt. <br />This equipment w-as taidgeted for replacciaent in the sewer and water budget for 1994. <br />Due to the use of this type of vehicle and the types of equipment that arc kept in the vehicle, <br />wc are proposing replacement with a one ton size and a utility body. The utility bodies are now <br />being constructed of fiberglass and can be switcted or transferred from one vehicle to another <br />so that replacement in the future would be for the cab and chassis only. <br />Wc do participate in the Hennepin County purchasing program and have received bids through <br />them for a one ton cab aixl chassis. <br />This year Thane Hawkins Chevrolet submitted the lowest bid for an amount of $19,’62. We <br />have also received bids for a utility body for an amount of $5,857 from Crystetl, Inc. <br />The total for cab and chassis and utility body amounts to $25,019. $22,000 was buJgcted, <br />The 1984 vehicle will be auctioned at one of three or four vehicle auctions that are coriducted <br />by Hennepin County Purchasing. <br />If we were to purchase a one ton pickup and not the utility' body, the amount would be $19,493. <br />Because the one ton cab and chassis and the utility body meets our needs, I am recommending <br />purchasing that vehicle and body for an amount of $25,019.
