TO: City Council
11/1\t, FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: February 8, 2012
SUBJECT: Resolution 2012 -11, Purchase of Two (2) 10 -12 CY End Dumps
The purpose of this correspondence is to recommend Council approval of the above referenced
resolution.
The City's equipment replacement schedule provides for the replacement of an end dump in
2015 and another in 2016 for an estimated cost of $168,832 each. The end dumps currently in
the City's fleet are thirty -one and thirty -two years old. Over the past several years maintenance
costs have increased substantially.
The City uses its end dumps for snow removal and for other relatively light -duty. As a result it is
financially beneficial to purchase used low- mileage /hours trucks. The Administration has been
observing the market to see if we could take advantage of attractive pricing for these pieces of
equipment.
The City solicited bids for two (2) used end dumps having been used for less than 75,000 miles,
and are model year 1999 or newer. Three bids were received with the lowest bid at $30,000 per
end dump. The result is a savings of $277,664 over the estimated purchase price in the
equipment replacement fund (the cost of new equipment was estimated).
These end dumps have been inspected and tested by our shop and other Public Works
personnel and are in sound condition.
Attached please find a copy of the Replacement Equipment Fund financial projections using the
original estimated purchase cost of $168,832 each, and a copy using the proposed purchase
cost of $30,000 each. Please note the projected year- ending equities and the substantial
positive effect of this purchase in FY 2023.
The Administration will continue to seek opportunities to purchase high quality used
equipment when appropriate.
If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.
