PURCHASE TWO TRUCKS Council was referred to a memorandum from Public Works Supervisor Winkel dated 2-8-90, requesting Council approval to purchase two vehicles for Public Works. Winkel advised specification for the two pickup trucks were sent 'to five area truck dealers and three quotes were received. He explained both vehicles were approved in the 1990 budget; a total amount of $27,000.00 was budgeted toward purchase of the trucks. The Public Works Supervisor explained the quotes received from Midway Ford and Minar Ford did not meet the minimum specifications for either vehicle, therefore, he recommends the vehicles be purchased from Rosedale Chevrolet at a total cost of $24,032.00. Winkel noted the quotes received did not include tax and license CO&ts. . Councilmember Malone questioned if it is necessary for the City to advertise for bids on the vehicles since the total amount is over $15,000.00. Winkel stated it is his understanding only quotes are necessary since the separate costs for the vehicles are under $15,000.00. Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, to authorize the purchase of a 1990 one-half ton full size pickup truck and a 1991 compact pickup truck, with an extended cab, from Rosedale Chevrolet at the prices quoted in the Public Works Supervisor's report dated 2-8-90, subject to confirmation from the City Attorney that receiving quotes on purchase of the vehicles is an appropriate procedure. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) REQUEST TO LEASE COMPUTER EQUIPMENT Council was referred to memorandums from the Clerk Administrator and Deputy Clerk dated 2-9-90, requesting authorization to lease computer equipment for the City Offices. Clerk Administrator Berger advised he concurs with recommendation of the Deputy Clerk to lease the computer equipment. . Deputy Clerk Iago explained the price quotes from Ameridata are based on the government purchasing contract and are lower than the two other quotes received; the computer equipment currently used in the City offices was purchased from Ameridata. She stated her recommendation to lease the equipment was based on the fact that technology changes so rapidly and the City computer needs may change over the next four years. Iago noted the fact that leasing the equipment will cost the City approximately $3,000.00 over the four year span, which was not budgeted and the installation costs of approximately $800.00 were not included in the 1990 budgeted amount.
