Body
REQUESTOR:
Finance, Fleet, and Facilities Department
BACKGROUND:
The Parks Department has budgeted for the purchase of an F-350 pickup truck and an F-550 pickup truck. The F-350 pickup truck is a replacement for unit 2081251, a 2008 Ford F350 for Park maintenance. The current vehicle has 110,000 miles and is being replaced due to age and mileage. A Park crew uses this vehicle for park maintenance throughout the city.
The F-550 pickup truck is a replacement for unit 2069051, a 2006 Ford F450 for Parks maintenance. The current vehicle has 70,000 miles and is being replaced due to age and mileage. This vehicle is used by a Parks team to perform maintenance on the park’s infrastructure. The City will re-utilize equipment (fuel tank, compressor, etc.)
DISCUSSION:
The BuyBoard purchasing cooperative was used to reduce fleet staff time and take advantage of existing bids from government entities.
The purchase of the replacement F-350 truck allows for the scheduled replacement of a 16-year-old vehicle. The FY2023-24 budget amount for the vehicle is $85,000. The quotation for the new Ford F-350 pickup truck came in at $85,534. The remaining balance of $534 will be funded from Fleet and Facilities Management’s budget.
The purchase of the replacement F-550 truck allows for the scheduled replacement of an 18-year-old vehicle. The FY2023-24 budget amount for the vehicle is $87,000. The quotation for the new Ford F550 pickup truck came in at $107,863.50. The remaining balance of $20,863.50 will be funded from the Parks Equipment Account and Fixed Asset Fund.
