A quote off the State CPV program for the work <br />boxes and warning lights, and front magnet were received from Crysteel of Fridley for <br />$11,717.97 and as well as $15,519.00 for the Jib Crane cost. <br /> <br />The current 5 Year plan shows truck #834 being replaced in 2016 for $60,000.00 from <br />460-4470-7040 Vehicle and Equipment Fund. The cost for the above vehicle and <br />options will be $56,822.17 and applicable license fees. <br /> <br />Staff has reviewed many options for replacing the sanitary sewer service truck and are <br />proposing the following; <br />1) Purchase a new service truck and place the magnet, tool boxes and warning <br />lights on this truck. This would be the primary service truck for the sewer <br />department at cost of $41,303.17 plus license fees. <br />2) Mount a new jib crane on the old service truck #834. This truck would be used <br />to service the lift stations and help in recovering catch basins when they have <br />fallen into structures, it can also be used for picking up hydrants off the <br />ground for replacement. The cost of the Jib Crane including the installation on <br />#834 is $15,519.00. <br />3) Sell unit #122 with the old Jib Crane. Value $1,200 (estimated). <br /> <br />By placing the Jib Crane on the old service truck, Staff feels this will help in safety by <br />not creating blind spots for the vehicle that requires numerous maneuvers throughout <br />the day while assisting in the cleaning of the sanitary and storm sewer systems. When <br />the new truck is up for replacement it would then be rotated and have the service body <br />with the crane placed on it, and the new truck would be used for the day to day <br />operations. <br /> <br />The adopted 2016 Budget includes this replacement funded in 460-4470-7040 in the <br />amount of $60,000.00. The total cost of the new truck with options and the Jib Crane <br />installed on the old service truck #834 will amount to $56,822.17, not including license <br />fees, and is under the budgeted amount. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the approval for the purchase of a 2017 F250 super cab pickup truck <br />from the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture contract (Midway Ford) <br />and in addition, the installation of the warning light package, two side tool boxes and <br />front magnet and the mounting of the Jib Crane on #834 for a cost of $56,822.17 plus <br />any applicable license fees from Crysteel Truck and Equipment account 460-4470-
