Subject

Approval to Purchase Ford F-450 with One-Ton Dump Truck

Background

The Equipment Replacement Fund includes $55,000 allocated in the current fiscal year for replacement of a Public Works one-ton dump truck.

The Public Works Department fleet includes two smaller scale, one-ton dump trucks which are used daily. These trucks are conveniently used for drainage projects, catch basin cleaning, pothole filling, roadside debris and animal removal, landscape restoration, snow and ice control, and other tasks. The one-ton dump has a low profile combined with fold-down sides to allow for convenient loading and unloading.

This vehicle will replace Unit #345, a 2007 Chevy 3500 one-ton dump truck that has served us well, but that after 12 years of service continues to require an increasing amount of maintenance. Simultaneously, staff experiences more downtime due to the increased maintenance that this vehicle requires.

Staff recommends purchasing a 2020 Ford F-450 gas motor chassis to avoid the complications and costs associated with a Tier-4 Diesel motor. This vehicle chassis is offered through Lonnie Cobb Ford of Henderson, Tennessee under Statewide Contract #209. Lonnie Cobb Ford will furnish the truck with a third-party dump body and hydraulic system supplied by Godwin Manufacturing. Knapheide offers the necessary installation using the recommended Godwin bed for an additional $13,295.00 as compared to Reading Truck Equipment ($19,344.00) and Stringfellow for ($22,560.00).

The total cost for this complete purchase off statewide contract is $51,625.00. Without the statewide contract pricing, the truck would retail for $61,585.

Please direct any questions to the Public Works Director.

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends purchasing a Ford F-450 gas motor chassis from statewide contract.
