<br />... <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br />EN HILLS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />April 4, 2005 <br /> <br />Agenda Item 6.A <br /> <br />TO: Michelle Wolf, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Thomas J. Moore, Operations & Maintenance Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Operations & Maintenance Department Purchase of Two Replacement Trucks: a <br />Ford 450 and a Ford F350 <br /> <br />Backl!round <br />The City Council and staff began preparing for the 2005 Budget on June 21, 2004. The process <br />concluded on December 13, 2004 with Resolution No. 04 - 69, adopting the 2005 Budget. A . <br />component ofthe 2005 Budget is the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) which included the <br />proposed purchase of two replacement trucks, a Ford F450 and a Ford F350. There were four <br />Council meetings devoted to CIP discussions. During one ofthose Work Sessions, the two <br />trucks were on display in the City Hall parking lot. <br /> <br />The City Trucks to be Replaced <br />Vehicle #2 is a 1996 Ford F250. It currently has 76,000 miles. The truck body has minor rust <br />and dents. The front end and brakes were replaced twice and should be replaced again along with <br />the transmission and exhaust system. This vehicle is used to plow and sand in the winter. It is <br />undersized for the duties it is required to perform, thus the excess wear and tear. <br /> <br />Vehicle # 13 is a 1996 Chevrolet one-ton. It currently has 50,000 miles. This vehicle has had its <br />front end, brakes and transmission replaced once. The following work has been identified to be <br />corrected: replace the front end, new transmission, and new brakes. This vehicle is used to plow <br />and sand in the winter. It was not equipped with super heavy duty components, thus the excess <br />wear and tear. <br /> <br />Uses <br />The proposed replacement trucks plow and sand as the larger trucks do, but generally take on the <br />shorter, narrower roadways and cul-de-sacs where maneuverability is a factor. In the summer, <br />the trucks are used for blacktop patching, as they are lower and easier to shovel from. Other uses <br />include hauling brush and debris, pulling trailer equipment, responding to sanitary sewer and . <br />water breaks, plus general hauling and transportation. Thesc are the most versatile trucks in the <br />City's fleet. <br /> <br />\\Earth\PR&PW\Operations & Maintenance\Equipment\2005 CIP Replacement Trucks.doc <br />
