r . The total cost for the trucks are as follows: (TWO) Chevy 2500 extended cab, 4x4 short box, reasonable equipped with plow is about $27,500.00 (ONE) Chevy 3500 regular cab, 4x4 with 9' dump box, tool box and plow is about $36,000.00. Value of the current vehicles to be sold: 1995 Ford Ranger 1998 Dodge 3500 2001 Ford F-250 $ 3,200.00 $18,800.00 $ 21.800.00 $43,800.00 Total The prices are the average between trade-in and retail, $1,500.00 was added for each plow and $2,500.00 was added for the contractor's box. Actual sales prices should be at or above these estimates. Total Cost for three new vehicles would be approximately $90,000.00 plus tax and license, etc. By replacing these vehicles on a yearly basis, the City should be able to change them out at little to no cost or hopefully a gain. This brings me to my second Council request, the purchase of a vacuumJhydro excavation unit. The state bid also has this in their contracted and the Centerville public works had a demonstration on Tuesday of a 650 gallon unit. With the addition of the storm swirl collector, the city will be required to pump out the waste on a weekly basis during the rainy months. It would also be very useful with cleaning out sewer manholes and potholing around manholes and gate valves which need adjustment due to frost heaves of the streets. The State bid for this unit new is $42,000.00 without attachments. The two year old demo unit with 25 hours on it is for sale for $32,000.00. This is a substantial savings from the new unit even with the $1,500.00 of additional hose accessories required. Money for this unit can come from the sanitary sewer fund (75%) and storm fund (25%). I recommend Council approve the purchase of the three new trucks and the vacuumJhydro unit.
