Mounds View City Council January 10,2011 <br /> IIIRegular Meeting Page 5 <br /> Council Member Hull questioned if the Vactor unit had a warranty. Public Works Supervisor <br /> Peterson indicated the varying pieces throughout the unit had varying warranties. <br /> Mayor Flaherty indicated the original request for this equipment came before the Council in <br /> 2008. The Council didn't have the funds at the time and has since been saving. He <br /> recommended the unit be purchased at this time and not be further delayed. <br /> Mayor Flaherty asked when the City would take position of the unit, if approved, and <br /> recommended the Vactor be present at the Town Hall meeting for the public to view, if possible. <br /> Public Works Supervisor Peterson stated the unit would be in the City's possession in 90 days, <br /> once approved by Council. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull.

Resolution 7723,Approving the Purchase of a 2011 Ford F-250 Pickup Truck <br /> from Midway Ford. <br /> IIIPublic Works Supervisor Peterson indicated the requested pickup truck would be used by the <br /> Public Works Department to assist with maintenance and inspections required for infrastructure <br /> operations through the City. The purchase of this truck has been deferred for five years. Staff <br /> received a competitive quote from the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture for a <br /> 2011 F250 for a cost of$22,424.49. The vehicle would require warning lights and a winch to be <br /> installed. Staff recommends the Council approve of the purchase of a 2011 F250 pickup truck as <br /> provided within the State bid for an expense of$25,545.12 plus sales tax and fees. <br /> Council Member Stigney questioned why staff was requesting a 4x4 and winch on this pickup <br /> truck. Public Works Supervisor Peterson indicated the winch would assist staff with tree <br /> removal near storm sewer ponds and provide greater safety. <br /> Council Member Stigney asked if staff received bids for a 2010 pickup truck. Public Works <br /> Supervisor Peterson understood that it would be difficult to find a 2010 pickup truck as they were <br /> sold out. The State contract provided the City with a great price for the new truck. <br /> Council Member Mueller indicated she was impressed by the price received from the State of <br /> Minnesota for this truck. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller.
