<br />I <br />I. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />I <br /> DATE: September 8, 1995 <br />I <br /> TO: B,;.. F,;";.,,,. C;<y Adm;._", t;;J <br />I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works superintendentQ <br />I SUBJECT: Purchase of replacement picknp for 1990 1/2 Ton <br /> Backl!round <br />. The 1995 Budget includes for the purchase of a new 1/2 ton pickup $18,000.00 <br /> Budget also includes for purchase of tail gate lift $ 2 500.00 <br /> Total $20,500.00 <br />I SUl!l!estion <br /> Replace our 1990 1/2 ton with 1995 3/4 ton 4 x 4 at $17,652.00 <br />I Including: 8' Western Plow $ 2,390,00 <br /> Maaco Paint to Arden Hills colors $ 550,00 <br />.- Tax on truck and plow $ 1.30273 <br /> Total Price $21,894.73 <br /> At this time, I would suggest using money budgeted for a power tail gate lift, to install a plow on <br />I the new pickup, which we could use this winter. This still leaves us $13 94,73 over budget, which <br /> we can get from savings in other areas, and we may save enough by years end to still be able to <br />I purchase a power lift, <br /> Also, we now would have one plow for each Public Works employee, This plow being smaller <br />I would be ideal for cul-de-sac work, parking lots, narrow streets and any restricted areas formerly <br /> done with small skid steer which must be moved with a trailer. <br />I Bids <br /> We contacted two (2) Ford dealers, one (1) Chevrolet and one (1) Dodge dealer. Superior Ford <br /> in Plymouth has government discount on pickups and was cheapest by $2000.00. Attached is <br />I Ford and Chevrolet prices, <br /> Recommendation <br />. Staffrecornmends the City Council approve acquisition of the 1995 Ford 3/4 Ton 4 x 4 with plow <br /> package from Superior Ford at a total cost of$21,894,73, <br />I DS~t <br />I- <br />I <br />
