SUBJECT: Purchase of Single Axle Dump Truck with equipment & attachments.
INTRODUCTION:
This item is for council to consider the purchase of one new Single Axle Dump Truck.
Public Works identified a need in the 2005 Capital Equipment Budget and estimated a
price of$115,000.00 for this purchase.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works is requesting at this time to purchase one new Single Axle Dump Truck for
snow plowing activities. This truck will not be available for use until the 2005-2006
snow season. Staff maintains 150 miles of streets and averages around 13.5 miles per
vehicle for mainline plowing activities. The average plow route for metro area cities is
10 miles.
With new developments currently being constructed and developments that will begin
construction this season staff is requesting this additional truck to maintain current
service levels. Attached to this memo is the current snow plow map with areas high-
lighted that are not considered high priority at this time because they are under
construction and other areas of development that should be on line by the 2005-2006
snow season. Staff estimates an increase of7.5 centerline miles. This does not include
developments that are under review now.
The budget estimate for the purchase was $115,000.00, but due to increased steel costs
and the new emissions standards the total price for the purchase is $121,596.38 with tax.
In 2003 the total price per truck was $105,061.55.
Staff utilized state bid pricing for this purchase. The costs by vendor are as follows:
VENDOR EQillPMENT PRICE
Boyer Sterling Trucks, Inc. Cab and Chassis $62,187.48
J-Craft, Inc. Box, Hoist, Sander $59,408.90
Snow Plows, Plumbing
