<br /> <br />* Item# 3.3* <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street Superintendent <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />April 6, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Purchase Snowplow Truck <br /> <br />The 2005 budget has money designated in equipment certificates for the purchase of a <br />tandem axle dump truck with snowplow equipment. The trucks and equipment are both <br />available on the Minnesota State Bid. <br /> <br />I would like to request Council's approval to order the truck cab and chassis soon, so that <br />there will be time to mount the body and plow equipment before the 2005-06 snow season <br />starts. I will be back to request the body and equipment at a later date. <br /> <br />There are many trucks available under the state contract, so I will only list the 3 least <br />expensive manufacturer's models that suit our needs and they are as follows: <br /> <br />International <br /> <br />$ 76,533.00 <br /> <br />Sterling <br /> <br />$ 79,931.00 <br /> <br />Freigbtliner <br /> <br />$ 83,843.00 <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />City Council approve the purchase of a International truck cab and chassis from Astleford <br />International Trucks, Minneapolis, Minnesota for $ 81,507.64, including sales tax. <br /> <br />
