The City <br /> is reimbursed for all maintenance performed on these roads, up to the time <br /> that they are turned back to the City of Mounds View. <br /> Staff has only one bid for Council' s consideration. Specifications for this <br /> truck were developed through the State Bid Contract . The State Contract <br /> satisfies the City' s purchasing policy. It is worthy of noting that the <br /> purchase price of this truck is at 1995 pricing and it is possible, that <br /> 4111 <br /> dependent on date of manufacture, the City may receive a 1997 model truck. <br /> Purchase price of the dump truck chassis is $47, 865.00, additional sales <br /> tax of $3, 111.23 equates to a total purchase price of $50, 976 .23 . A total <br /> amount budgeted for the truck, dump body, and plowing equipment is $86, 400 . <br /> The remainder of the equipment will be purchased through separate quotes . <br /> It is anticipated that the total of all necessary equipment will exceed the <br /> budgeted amount by approximately $5, 700 . The addition of an underbody plow <br /> which will decrease chemical use, new dump box design which is lighter and <br /> stronger, and state of art hydraulic system are the major components which <br /> have increased the initial purchase of this truck. <br /> Staff is not requesting additional funding for this purchase. Funding of <br /> 1996 operating materials, safety products in particular were purchased <br /> through the safety grant the City applied for in 1995 . This will free up <br /> funds throughout each division' s operating budgets . It is staff' s <br /> recommendation to complete the funding of the truck purchase through the <br /> combined operating budgets in which the purchase is funded. If additional <br /> funds are required atthe end of 1996, staff can, at that time request <br /> possible transfers of additional funding. <br /> If Council has any questions or concerns regarding this purchase, please <br /> feel free-Eo call me. <br /> ,� Y <br /> IIIMichael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Council award the bid for the 1996 truck chassis to Boyer Ford for $50, 976.23 to be funded <br /> equally from acc'ts 100-4472-703 Snow & Ice, 700-4123-703 Water Infra. & Eq. , 730-4123-703 <br /> Wastewater Infra. & Eq. , and 420-4122-703 Surface Water Mntce. <br />
