MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC <br />FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRAT <br />DATE: OCTOBER 15, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS DUMP TRUCK AND EQUIPMENT BIDS <br />Bids were received and TruckwithEquipmentd for the u(boxedhydraulics, <br />purchase of a Dump Equipment <br />snowplow, and sander) on September 18, 1987. The bids have <br />beend bthe <br />the matteriwithdthemlic Works in detail. Thenel and <br />bids <br />are as follows: <br />1. Truck <br />Superior Ford (does not meet specifi- $36,239.00 <br />cations) 36,570.34 <br />Lakeland Ford 7- 957.57 <br />Boyer Ford <br />North Star International (does not ou,993.43 <br />meet specifications) <br />2. Equipment <br />Midland Equipment Company $17,655.00 <br />18,569.00 <br />r Crysteel Distributing, Inc. 19,288.00 <br />v J-Craft, Inc. 19,808.72 <br />Boyum Equipment <br />3. Truck and Equipment <br />North Star International Trucks $5, 5472.00 <br />Superior Ford <br />Currently, the City has two trucks, 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive <br />and 1 ton dump, equipped for snowplowing. Neither of these S <br />are large enough to push frozen snow we need to move during <br />clean-up and when used for that work frequently experience <br />damage. Our 1966 dump truck is equipped with a used sander ? <br />and both the truck and the sander are expected to have a <br />short life remaining. This truck can be used for spot <br />sanding of icy areas to avoid the cost of a County callout. <br />Last year we called out the County to sand a section of road <br />on a weekend and their two hours cost us in excess of <br />$200.00. If it had been a City person <br />the cost would have been less than $75.00. <br />The advantage of having the new truck fully equipped at the <br />time of purchase is: <br />1. When the old truck goes, we have an immediate <br />replacement. <br />2. Larger dump box for hauling of material therefore <br />reducing the number of runs. <br />
