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 451 <br />DATE: April 22, 1999 <br />RE: Replacement of 1985 4WD Truck <br />MAYOR <br />Michael L Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As you may recall, the 1985 4WD 1/4 ton pickup was sold last year and was scheduled and <br />budgeted to be replaced in 1998. However, I delayed this purchase until I could evaluate and <br />verify the need for a new truck. <br />Based on this evaluation, it has been concluded that Public Works needs two trucks with utility <br />boxes. One utility truck would be used as a sewer /sign service truck and the other as a water <br />service truck. We currently have two trucks with utility boxes on them. However, one is on the <br />1990'/2 ton pickup that I use. <br />Since the 1990 '/2 ton pickup is a little old and undersized for the work we want to impose on it, <br />it was determined that the best value for the City would be to go ahead and replace the 1985 <br />pickup with a new F250 (3/4 ton) 4WD super duty super cab pickup and take the utility box off <br />the 1990 and mount it on the new truck. <br />This pickup can be purchased through the State of Minnesota Pricing Contract at a total cost of <br />$24,040.50. The budget is $24,000. <br />Authorization to purchase this vehicle is requested. <br />GS:kp <br />Page 142 <br />
