City of York council approves two state-bid truck purchases funded by permit fees
Summary
The council approved two state contract purchases — a Ford Maverick for $28,244 and a Ford F-150 for $45,542 — to replace aging inspection and field vehicles; staff said permit-fee revenues will fund the buys and older vehicles will be declared surplus.
The City of York council on May 1 approved two state bid contracts to update the street and inspection vehicle fleet.
James presented contract 160076OC to buy a Ford Maverick all-wheel-drive from Anderson Ford for $28,244 to replace an aging building-inspector truck, and contract 160760 to buy a Ford F-150 4x4 from Anderson Ford for $45,542 to support additional field work following an internal promotion.
"This truck will actually replace one of our building inspector trucks," James said of the Maverick. He added that the purchases will be paid from permit-fee revenue and that the city will put the older vehicles on surplus. "We will put the old truck on surplus," he said.
Councilors moved and seconded approval of both purchases; both motions passed by recorded vote.
James told the council he briefly considered Chevrolet but was told government vehicle production there has been curtailed, so the city selected Ford because it is still producing government vehicles.
