BOX 891 FOREST LAKE, Mil _ Tit 550 -5 -0891 61 9J464 -4034, 010116 6141464 -0903, tsiaW TO: pawl, CiV of Centerville FROM: Patty O Wkh DATE: September 5, 1996 RE: DoT i nactions At your request, we have performed DOT inspections on Come—Ale's 1986 and 1975 Fords. Enclosed is an estimate for needed repairs on the 1996 Ford which must be performed prior to issuance of the DOT certification. In consullntg with Mark regarding your 1975 Ford, it was determined that it is impossible to prepare an accurate cost estimate of repairs due to the age of the vehicle and extent of needed repairs. For example, there are t4 cracked frame rails and both exhaust fMnMds are in need of replacement. We kn,-w of two local city maintenance departments that had similar repairs performed recsin3y, with the exhaust manifolds costing $500 each (installed) and the frame rail replacement costing approximately $7,000 each. As you can see, it is obvious that the expense of performing these repairs far outweighs the worth of the vehicle. At your request, Ma ?K estimates that this vehicle's worth wouktbe approximately $500- 1,000 depending on ft buyer and intended usage. If selling this vehicle is something the City wishes toe further, we can recommend a large equipment "bone yard" which may be interested in purchasing this vehicle from the City. Otheriss, the City may wish to sell this truck to a private individual for farm usage. Let us know if we can be of further assistance to the City concerning this older vehicle. In the meantime, please contact me to authorize the repairs as estimated on the 1986 Ford at your earliest ect-wenience. We appreciate your business. tl� �JRt# f ll®
