515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director GA-S <br />DATE: April 22, 1999 <br />RE: Purchase of Dump Truck <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />I am very pleased to inform you that we have found a used 1992 Ford L8000 single axle dump <br />truck to replace the 1984 truck. We have negotiated a deal with Boyer Trucks to purchase this <br />vehicle for $26,875 including trading in our 1984 truck and sales tax. The expected delivery of <br />this truck is in August 1999. <br />The 1992 L8000 truck comes from the City of Coon Rapids and appears to be in very good <br />shape. However, to ensure its reliability for our use for many years into the future, some <br />mechanical and cosmetic work is needed. The estimated cost of this work is around $6,000 <br />($3,000 for painting, $2,000 for plow repairs, and $1,000 for mechanical work). The 1999 <br />budget fund 400 has a line item for the 1984 truck replacement at $40,000. <br />Authorization to purchase and repair the 1992 Ford L8000 single axle dump truck is requested. <br />GS:kp <br />page 141 <br />
