Title
3/4 Ton 4x4 Replacement Pickup Truck - Purchase
History
The 2013 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $31,000 for the purchase of a 3/4 ton replacement 4x4 pickup truck equipped with an 8’ snowplow, power lift gate and amber warning lighting for the Parks Department. This truck will replace a 2002 4x4 pickup truck with 77,000 miles.
The Suburban Cooperative Program (a Joint Purchasing Program for Local Governments) is similar to the Central Management Services of Illinois Program (state purchase price) which awards vehicle contracts to dealers in the state by a sealed bid process. The vehicle available under this contract is the 2013 Ford F250 4x4 equipped with a snow plow, power lift gate and amber warning lighting from Currie Motors Frankfort of Frankfort, Illinois, for a cost of $33,180 (Quotation attached). We have previously purchased vehicles through The Suburban Purchasing Cooperative. The specifications are consistent with the equipment the Village currently purchases.
On May 20, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
There are funds available in Account #010-5006-470200 for the purchase of the replacement 3/4 ton pickup truck.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve authorizing the purchase of a replacement 3/4 Ton 2013 Ford F250 4x4 Pickup Truck equipped with an 8’ snow plow, power lift gate and amber warning light for the Parks Department from Currie Motors Frankfort of Frankfort, Illinois, through the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative Bid Contract for a price not to exceed $33,180.
