Recently, the pick-up truck assigned to the General Highway Forman at Public Works was taken
out of service because ofits overall poor condition The velvcleis a 1989 two -wheel drive
standard sizepick-up with+180,000 utiles. fn addition ro Na frena being broken and severety
rusted, the raoainderofthe vehicle also has sigoi6cmtrus[damage. Thevebiclewas Previously
overhauled/reconditioned 9 an early point m fare and is an longer suitable for ream.
Givmthe importance ofthevehicl% its replacement will be necessary. Weareproposingto
purchase a high quality used Pick-up truck (2 wheel drive, standard size) to be funded from the
Equipment Reserve Account, which las a currant balance of S532,959. We are specifically
requesting authority to locate and purchase a duck for a price not to exceed$13,000. We believe
that by shopping at the local dealerships, avelucle can be found and savings achieved. Given the
turnover was of wed vehicles, however, it is necessary to secure authority prior to locating a
vehicle. Locetivgavehicle avdthm retunungto the Fwmce Committeeforapprovalwall
probability, would be too time conn* in term of purchasing a used vehicle.
Last year, we used this Process to purchase a used Pick-up truck for Parks and Recreation with
good success and based upon that experience, we would propose to tallow that process again fm
this Public Works truck.
t will be at the Finance Committee meeting to answer any questions that you may have.
