Purchase of F-450 Ford One-Ton w/Hoist August 3 0, 2010 Page 2 Bud�et The cost of the F-450 Ford chassis including sales tax and license is $32,150.66. The cost of the box, including all installation and sales tax is $8,960.40 and the hoist cost including installation and sales tax is $31,663 .86. The total cost of the fully equipped vehicle including all sales taxes and license is $72,774.92, The 2010 CIP included $66,400 for the purchase of the entire vehicle from the Equipment Replacement Fund. Staff attached a photo (we apologizes for the blurriness) of a similar style truck. Staff has looked at downsizing the chassis and/or hoist to bring the total cost back within the CIP budgeted amount but feel this is the smallest hoist that will adequately perform the necessary work tasks. Given the size of the hoist and the largest/deepest lift this is the size chassis on which it should be mounted. Staff then looked at our last purchase contained in the 2010 CIP which is $50,000 for a generator to be permanently located at lift station #8. Staff feels confident from preliminary estimates that we will be able to under run that CIP itern by an amount equal to or greater than the amount this truck w/hoist purchase is over the CIP estimate. Vehicle Sale The 2010 CIP anticipated the sale of the 2000 Fleetside pickup when the new vehicle was purchased. However, with the current ongoing sump pump inspection program and summer interns, the Public Works Department has found itself short of vehicles at times during the 2010 summer. Staff would recommend maintaining the 2000 Fleetside pickup in the current fleet, to be utilized for transportation by either the sump pump inspector or summer interns through at least the 2011 summer season. Action Req uested Staff recommends a motion to authorize the purchase of a new 2010 F-450 Ford Chassis, box and hoist in the amount not to exceed $72,774.92.
