Replacement Aerial Lift Truck - Purchase
History
The Public Works 2017 Fiscal Year Budget has a rollover Board approved line item in the amount of $115,000.00 to replace a Street Division 2003 Ford F450 aerial lift truck. The vehicle is equipped with a 37' foot aerial lift bucket primarily used for street sign repairs. The current unit being replaced has approximately 124,250 miles.
The Village is a member of the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a purchasing cooperative that provides competitive pricing for equipment purchases. As a member of NJPA, The Village is eligible to purchase a 2017 Ford F550 chassis at a governmental discount through the manufacturer, Altec Industries Northern Division, Indianapolis, Indiana at a cost of $99,638.00. The vehicle is equipped with an Altec model AT37G Articulating Telescopic Aerial device. Warning lights, Vehicle locator system and two-way radio installation will be handled thru a local vendor after the replacement truck arrives.
On February 6, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.

There is sufficient funding budgeted for the replacement aerial lift truck in account #010-5006-470300.
