Speedway council approves purchase of 2025 one-ton crew cab pickup truck for street department
Summary
The council approved the lowest quote of $60,350 from Hare Chevrolet for a 2025 one-ton crew cab pickup truck; remaining budgeted funds will buy a plow and accessories.
The Speedway Town Council voted 5-0 on Jan. 27 to approve the purchase of a 2025 one-ton crew cab pickup truck for the street department, using a $60,350 quote from Hare Chevrolet.
Town Manager Grant Kleinhans told the council the town budgeted $75,000 for the vehicle. Kleinhans said the remaining funds—about $15,000—will be used to buy a plow and other equipment so the truck can be used for snow removal. He estimated the town will still be under budget by roughly $5,000 to $10,000.
Councilors asked about timing and whether buying in the first quarter is cost-effective. Kleinhans said the town often buys larger equipment in Q1 for budgetary reasons and to replace older, potentially unreliable units; he noted the vehicle being replaced was from 2006. The council agreed to proceed and approved the proposal; no delivery date was specified in the meeting record.
The motion was made and seconded during the meeting; the vote was recorded 5-0 in favor.
