MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />PAGE TWO <br />OCTOBER 19, 1988 <br />1. With the rew snowplowing program in effect in 1989, <br />it is essential that I am capable of making it to <br />work to supervise and instruct new operators. <br />2. A training program is being developed where each <br />operator will be required to ride with a qualified <br />operator for a certain period of hours and then. <br />operate accompanied by a qualified operator for a <br />certain number of hours before they are qualified <br />to operate the truck individually. <br />3. The ether reason being that, should the need arise <br />for another snowplow we would have a pick up <br />equipped to handle this. I have discussed all <br />these issues with Ric Minetor and have his support <br />based upon my recommendations. I would like you to <br />approve these pick ups as soon as possible due to <br />the fact that the current water department truck is <br />in dire need of repair and the 4 wheel drive will <br />be needed for winter use. <br />The bid received by Polar Chevrolet included the following <br />additional equipment which was not bid by Viking Chevrolet. <br />For this reason we are receiving more for the money spent <br />than by taking the lower of the bids. <br />- 850 cold cranking amp battery <br />spare tire haz:ger, mounted <br />- engine oil cooler <br />- Scotsdale trim package <br />I am again proposing we can use funds from the loader <br />purchase sallings to cover these additionai•costs and that we <br />would --award these purchases to Polar Chevrolet and Road <br />Machinery Supplies, Inc. <br />P.ECOMMENDATION- <br />to f recommends the purchase of 2 pick-ups from Polar <br />Chevrolet for the amount of $14,49A . 4� 14 r 2; and utility boa for $4,400. re Funds�for �Uthelabove <br />listed trucks will be charged to 100-4270-703, 700-4121- <br />703 respectively. <br />MU/MJS <br />P" <br />
