Action Requested
Authorization to purchase a 2009 Chevy 2500 pickup and plow.
Background/Discussion
The 2009 budgeted fleet/equipment list for the Parks department included the purchase of a John Deere
5625 tractor, a pickup truck with a v-plow, a spreader, an aerator, and a drag. Due to the budget
reductions, the fleet committee reduced the 2009 equipment list by more than $100,000, of which none
of these purchases were part of the reductions. The $100,000 corresponding reduction will be a reduced
transfer from the General Fund to the Equipment Replacement Fund.
At this time, the Parks department is seeking authorization to replace the 1994 F150 pickup truck. The
new pickup will be used for general park maintenance and snow removal. Thane Hawkins Polar
Chevrolet has the State contract for the pickup in the amount of $26,809 including sales tax. Bert's Truck
Equipment Inc. has the State contract for the v-plow in the amount of $5,286.66 including sales tax and
installation. Total cost of the 2009 Chevy 2500 pickup and plow including sales tax is $32,095.66.
Financial Impact
This item is budgeted in the Equipment Replacement Fund. Estimated amount in the equipment
replacement fund was $32,000.
