The <br />new pickup will be used as a general park maintenance service truck. The 1991 Chevy has over 108,000 <br />miles and has been having carburetor and transmission issues. Nelson Auto Center has the current State <br />contract for the pickup in the amount of $25,675.20 including sales tax. With accessories (side boxes, <br />LED strobe, back rack etc.) the total cost is $28,555.48. We also requested a quote from Polar Chevrolet <br />for the pickup and the amount quoted was $27,315.10 including sales tax; with the accessories, the total <br />cost was $30,195.38. Using the State contract will save approximately $1,639.90. The 1991 Chevy 3/4 ton <br />pickup will go to auction. <br />Financial Impact <br />This item is budgeted in the equipment replacement fund for $32,000. The total cost of the pickup at <br />$28,555.48 is $3,444.52 below budget. This difference more than offsets the lawn mowers purchased <br />earlier this year that were $1,542.73 over budget. <br />Attachments <br />None <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />C:\Users\jjohnson\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\SFWAYSNS\Parkpurchase (2).doc <br />
