MEETING DATE: March 21, 2013
AGENDA ITEM: Public Works Director Report – Truck Request
SUBMITTED BY: Terry Thene
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The approved CIP includes funding for a street vehicle
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Public Works is requesting the purchase of a WT 2013 ½ ton Chevrolet 4 wheel Dr
extended cab pickup truck. This truck would be used as the Public Works Directors vehicle; the current ¾ ton #25
would be used in the PW’S fleet.
Currently when staff is short on vehicles the PW’s Director drives his personal truck to accommodate the work, this
is approximately 2 months per year. This happens during maintenance activities and if there is maintenance or
repair of a vehicle. There are six pickups in the PW’s fleet, truck # 27 is a 1987 and should only be used as needed.
Staff has received a price from the state contract and from Schweiter’s Chevrolet. Schweiter’s Chevrolet was the
best price at $29,591.00 including bed liner, back rack, strobe, tax and license. The state contract is closed and
cannot be used. Schweiter’s has honored the state contract price. This truck would have a tool box, transfer of
base radio from #25 and stickers. The estimated cost on these items would be $1,000.00
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: $ 30,591.00
ATTACHMENTS: CIP 1303
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Council authorization to purchase a ½ ton pickup from Schweiter’s Chevrolet
