The proposed replacement vehicles are <br />two F-450 Ford pick-up trucks. City staffrecommends that the City purchases two <br />vehieles that have a super heavy duty front end suspension, Tommy Lift gates, and safety <br />lights. In order to properly sell vehicles #13 and #2, they would be placed in an <br />upeoming State of Minnesota auction. All proceeds from the sale of the two vehicles <br />would be applied to the purchase price ofthe new vehicle. The antieipated revenue from <br />auctioning off the two trucks is roughly $6,000 to $9,000. <br />-. . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Project Rationale: <br />Both vehicles were originally scheduled for replacement in 2003. Staff moved the <br />original replacement date back two years to 2005. Both vehicles are used for snow <br />plowing activities and are undersized for this type of work. Staff believes that a Ford F- <br />450 piek-up truck would be more effective in completing snow removal activities. <br />Recently vehicle #13 has developed a gas tank leak and transmission problems. Velllc1e <br />#2 currently has an oil and antifreeze leak. Neither truck has been repaired at this time. <br />Staff feels that the purchase ofFord F-450 pick-up trucks would improve the City's truck <br />fleet life span by minimizing the wear and tear eurrently being experienced by F-250 and <br />F-350 trueks. The purchase of two F-450 trucks would also provide O&M staff members <br />with the necessary equipment to more efficiently complete routine maintenance <br />activities. Both replaeement trucks have had two front end replaeements and are in need <br />of other maintenanee repairs. <br /> <br />..-- -. <br /> <br />. <br />
