Council approves purchase of Ford F-150 for water treatment plant, not to exceed $46,000
Summary
Council approved a CIP-funded purchase of a replacement Ford F-150 for the water treatment plant because the current 2014 vehicle is nearing 100,000 miles and is out of warranty; the authorization set a not-to-exceed price of $46,000.
City staff reported the water treatment plant's assigned vehicle, a 2014 Ford F-150, is approaching 100,000 miles and out of warranty; staff said the purchase was included in the approved CIP and asked council to authorize acquisition of a new truck to provide a reliable, warranted fleet vehicle. "The current vehicle ... is approaching 100,000 miles," staff noted, emphasizing the lack of warranty increases the risk of unexpected maintenance costs.
Council moved and approved purchase authority for a new Ford F-150 not to exceed $46,000, with council recording the roll-call vote as unanimous (6–0). Staff said the new vehicle would be assigned to the water treatment plant; the city may surplus or reassign the existing unit as operational needs dictate.
