This unit would be paid for using <br />equipment certificates from 1999. <br /> <br />The second unit needs to be ordered now because the transmission for this <br />truck takes 12 to 14 months from order to delivery. <br /> <br />The total cost of unit number 2 is $82,387.72 including sales tax. <br /> <br />The dump box, hydraulic system, snowplow wing, sander, underbody blade, <br />and light system is supplied by J-Craft of Kimball, Minnesota, for a total <br />installed price of $48,353.13 per unit including sales tax. <br /> <br />J-Craft is an approved vendor under the state contract so we did not need to <br />go through the competitive bidding process with their bid.
