. CONSENT G2 <br />2/23/05 <br />ITEM: Replacement of 1999 Ford F350 Dump Truck <br />SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Director of Public Works <br />REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: The Ford F350 is 5 years old and is in need of a complete transmission re-build. The <br />Capital Budget for 2005 includes $30,000 for replacement of this vehicle. This truck must be <br />purchased in two parts, the base truck and the add-on dump box. <br />Boyer Ford in Minneapolis can offer Government pricing for the base vehicle. They are also <br />offering atrade-in price "as is" for our existing 1999 truck. <br />Base Vehicle $25,225.00 <br />Less trade $10,000.00 <br />Subtotal $15,225.00 <br />Tax $ 989.00 <br />Total $16,214.00 <br />Truck Utilities in Maplewood offers four different dump box styles. Staff has evaluated the four <br />options and recommends the purchase of a Stainless Steel box. This box is built with thicker <br />steel and will not rust as normal steel would. Thus, it is more durable and will have a greater re- <br />sale value. We will re-use our existing plow and lifting crane on the new vehicle. Truck Utilities <br />will also install the following items on the truck: Dump box, trailer hitches, safety strobe lights, <br />new mount and hydraulics for our existing plow, reinstall our existing crane, and additional rear <br />spring work as needed for the crane. <br />Cost $13,540.00 <br />Tax $880.10 <br />Total $14,420.10 <br />Fast signs will provide two City logos for the truck doors for $217.71. <br />The total cost, with everything outlined above, is $30,851.81. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />• Approve the purchase of a Ford F350 truck from Boyer Ford, dump box and other <br />• amenities from Truck Utilities, and door graphics from Fast Signs <br />10 <br />
