CONSENT ITEM — 3B <br />,-ARZEN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: December 19, 2022 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br />FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Public Works Capital Equipment Replacement — 2012 International Plow Truck <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />$120,000 $143,645.22 Equipment Replacement Fund <br />(2023 CIP) (2024 or 2025 expense) <br />Council Should Consider <br />Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: <br />Order the replacement of the 2012 International Plow Truck, Unit 115 for 2025 Mack <br />Granite 42FR Single Axle in the estimated amount of $143,645.22 with the <br />understanding prices could increase upon actual delivery of equipment and time of <br />invoice. <br />Background/Discussion <br />The 2023 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the purchase of a cab and chassis to replace <br />the 2012 International Plow Wing Truck, Unit 115. (Attachment A) <br />Public Works staff recommends approving the replacement cab and chassis in order to be placed <br />on the production list for a 2025 Mack Granite FR42 Single Axle. Currently, the 2024 model <br />year is sold out. If Council orders the replacement of Unit 115, the City would be added to the <br />vendor's limited list and the chassis would go into production in 2024, making it a 2025 model <br />year. The City would be invoiced possibly in 2024, but likely 2025. The vendor, NUSS Truck & <br />Equipment, provided staff with their best estimate for the 2025 model year by taking the 2024 <br />model year price and adding 15% to get a total of $143,645.22 (Attachment B). This does not <br />include the costs for the full build out of the plow truck, only the cab and chassis. <br />Staff recommends ordering the replacement of Unit 115 with a Mack Granite 42FR Single Axle. <br />This is one of our three large dump trucks used primarily for plowing and de-icing streets. With <br />only three dump trucks in the snow plow fleet, it is imperative that they be dependable during <br />snow events as to provide uninterrupted service to the public. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
