<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: February 6, 2001 <br /> <br />TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator <br />,/", <br />FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director '/:; <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Vehicle Purchase <br /> <br />Back!!round <br />The Arden Hills Public Works Department is currently on an eight-year replacement <br />cycle for the City's smaller vehicles, which are used daily. The City's two, 1 ton <br />dump/plow trucks purchased in 1993 were scheduled for replacement in 2001. Stafflast <br />year decided to replace one of those trucks in 2001 and the other in 2002. This would <br />flatten out the spending for those years, <br /> <br />Uses <br />The I ton trucks plow and sand as the larger trucks do, but generally take on the shorter, <br />narrower areas and cul,de,sacs where maneuverability is a factor. In the summer the one <br />tons are used for blacktop patching, as they are lower and easier to shovel from. Other <br />uses are hauling brush and debris, pulling trailer equipment, plus general hauling and <br />transportation. These are the most versatile trucks in the City's fleet. <br /> <br />Current Trucks Condition <br />Both trucks have approximately 40,000 miles on them. This seems relatively few, <br />however plowing and salting take an unusual toll on small trucks. Both trucks are kept <br />running well, but are high maintenance vehicles. <br /> <br />Proposed Replacement Vehicle <br />The Public Works Department has budgeted $55,000 to replace each I ton truck with a <br />1 Y:, ton truck. These will be the same size trucks with heavier components, such as <br />frame, brakes, springs, axles, etc. <br /> <br />Costs <br />The City has received a quote from Superior Ford in Plymouth to provide an F,450 Ford <br />meeting the City's specifications for a total net cost of: <br /> <br />50,769.00 Base Price <br />3,299.86 Sales Tax (6,5%) <br />800.00 Painting AH Tan <br />$54,868.86 Total Cost <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />The Arden Hills Public Works Director recommends the City Council authorize staffto <br />purchase one new Ford F-450 4x4 through the Minnesota State Cooperative Purchasing <br />Agreement from Superior Ford, at a net cost of$50,769. <br /> <br />L <br /> <br />- <br />
