<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Consent Ma 1,2006 <br />Item Description <br />Authorization to Purchase Snow Plow Equipment and Truck <br />Bodies <br /> <br />Item Number <br />3.13.* <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Phil Hals, Street Su erintendent <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Introduction <br />The Street Department has two truck cab and chassis on order, and has been reviewing bids from <br />vendors for truck bodies and snow plow equipment. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Staff has considered the state bids of Aspen Equipment and] -Craft for the purchase of and installation of <br />snow plowing equipment and dump bodies for two new trucks. The state bid prices for two complete <br />truck equipment packages, including sales tax, are: <br /> <br />] -Craft <br />Aspen Equipment <br /> <br />$148,418.41 <br />$149,013.30 <br /> <br />I chose the above vendors because we now have Henderon plow equipment from Aspen and Falls plow <br />equipment from] -Craft. It makes sense to have uniformity with our equipment for multiuse and repair <br />parts inventories. <br /> <br />The two bids shown are with equal and comparable components. The fmal cost from] -Craft will be <br />$151,500, because I want to take advantage of a more expensive storage light system that is exclusive to]- <br />Craft and not available for other vendors to bid. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Funds are budgeted in the 2006 equipment certificates. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Council approval to proceed with the purchase of snow plow equipment and dump bodies for two trucks <br />for a total cost of $151,500 from ]-Craft, Inc. of Kimball, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Council Action <br /> <br />Motion by _ <br /> <br />Second by _ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br /> <br />C:\Docwnents and Settings\tallard\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKF\4-27-06 Me purchase truck bodies. doc <br />
