- 2 - <br />of the dump truck with a flush type mount and would have the capabilities <br />of lifting 2000 lbs. <br />In addition, staff would recommend that the City Council consider ti� <br />purchase of the heavy-duty plow as proposed by Brookdale Ford at a <br />cost of $1,344.00 should the Council desire to have a second vehicle <br />available for snow plowing. We currently only have one vehicle within <br />the city with a plow which is the 3/4 ton four-wheel drive truck and <br />staff Feels Lhat the potential capabilities of using the one ton <br />dump truck as a back up plow as well as possibly having two vehicles <br />to do local plowing would be an excellent asset to the city's fleet <br />at a cost of $1,344.00, It should be noted that at this time we are <br />able to accomplish the city's plowing needs with the 3/4 ton four-wheel <br />drive truck but feel that the addition of the second plow Vehicle would <br />increase our efficiency and productivity. <br />We currently have $15,000.00 allocated for a one ton dump truck and <br />the total bid price should the Council decide to purchase both bid <br />options would total $13,098.00 or approximately $2,000.00 under the <br />current budgeted price. It should be further noted that staff has <br />renegotiated the box contract with Brookdale Ford and they will be <br />including a 3/16" smooth steel deck on the box rather than the initially <br />bid 1�" pine wood floor, at no additional charge. <br />Should you have any questions regarding staff's proposal for the pur- <br />chase of a one ton dump truck, please feel free to contact myself <br />directly at extension 941 and staff will be on hand to review the bid <br />proposals and bid process at Monday evening's Council Meeting. <br />BKA/sll <br />Enclosures <br />
