Request for Replacement Dump Truck At its February I meeting, the Maintenance Advisory Committee reviewed the request from the Maintenance Dept. for the purchase of a new truck to replace the 1990 unit. The MAC made a motion to recommend the purchase of a 1990 L8880 Ford (Sterling) chassis from Boyer Trucks and Dump body with plows from J-Craft at a total cost of $93,948.80 as per the specifications on the state contract based on the following findings: 1. The existing unit had been originally on the CIP for replacement in 7 years (1997). It had been twice pushed out an additional year. A new unit cannot be delivered until mid 2000 making the old unit a full 10 years. 2. The existing unit is in need of major repairs, including rust, a bent sub -frame and damaged wing adapter. The right front spring has been replaced, but does not carry the weight of the wing correctly. 3. Anew unit cannot be delivered until the year 2000, so this will be out of the year 2000 budget, not the 1999 budget. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 2, 1999 2
