This Order will authorize the purchase of an extended reach deice truck, in the amount of $683,870, with Global Ground Support, LLC. This past year the City experienced issues with its aircraft deicing truck with extended reach capabilities which is necessary for winter maintenance of larger aircraft. This item was listed in the airport’s FY 2019 proposed budget. Recently, staff was notified that orders for this type of deice truck have lead times from 6 to 8 months. If approved, the unit will arrive prior to the start of next winter season. The airport will use funds from the savings from the long term parking lot paving project this year of $504,000 and delay a proposed FY 2019 capital request of $106,000 to pay for the truck. This item was discussed earlier this month as a lease, however, the buyout cost of the lease made the outright purchase of the equipment significantly cheaper. Therefore we are changing our recommendation to purchase, rather than lease of the equipment. Finance Committee 04/18/2018 Recommend for passage 50 Staff recommends approval.
