<br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> . MEMORANDUM <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> DATE: February 8, 1990 <br /> TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: Dan Winkel, Public Works Supervisor <br /> SUBJEeT: Request to Purchase Two New Public Works Pick-ups <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Specifications for two pick-ups were delivered to five area truck dealers <br /> (McCarthy GMC, Polar Chevrolet, Midway Ford, Rosedale Chevrolet and Minar <br /> Ford). The two pick-ups are for the Public Works department and both are <br /> in the 1990 budget. Total budgeted amount for both trucks is $27,000. <br /> One truck will be a standard one-half ton pick-up with an 8' box. The <br /> other vehicle will be a compact size pick-up with an extended cab. Both <br /> of these vehicles will need to be ordered from the factory and delivery <br /> takes approximately 8 weeks. <br /> Quotes were received by the February 1st deadline from three of the <br /> . dealers thb~ were sent ~pecs. The following quotes we~~ received fOi 2ach <br /> vehicle: <br /> 1990 1991 <br /> li2 Ton Full Size Compact Pick-up <br /> Rosedale Chevrolet $11,875.34 $12,157.26 <br /> Midway Ford 12,113.00 ----- <br /> Minar Ford 11,946.00 12,008.00 <br /> The quotes from Rosedale Chevrolet total $24,032.60, which leaves a <br /> balance of $2,967.40 from the $27,000 budgeted for these two expenditures. <br /> Minar's quotes total $23,954, leaving a balance of $3,046 (or $78.60 more <br /> in the budget than if purchased from Rosedale). However, both Midway and <br /> Minar did not meet the minimum specifications. The quotes received do not <br /> include tax and license. Both of the trucks from Rosedale Chevrolet meet <br /> all of the minimum specifications. Therefore, I recommend that both pick <br /> up trucks be ordered from Rosedale Chevrolet as soon as possible. <br /> ACTION REQUIRED: <br /> If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a <br /> motion approving the purchase of a 1990 one-half ton full size pick-up and <br /> a 1991 compact pick-up with an extended cab from Rosedale Chevrolet at the <br /> above quoted prices. <br /> .
