REST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Req a ted: At~ril 22, 1991 Requested By: '~ Department: Public Works XXX Report Fund Exhibits: 1. Proposal from Knapp Chevrolet - Trash Truck 2. Cost Analysis Ordinance SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Knapp Chevrolet was awarded the bid for the supply of a 6 cubic yard dump truck for the FY 90-91 budget. A trash truck was mistakenly ordered from the factory by Knapp. An agreement has been reached with Knapp Chevrolet to accept an in-stock cab and chassis in lieu of re-ordering from the factory. The alternative was re-ordering the vehicle with a receipt date of July 1st, 1991, at the earliest and, possibly, into next fiscal year. The City will receive a truck of higher value meeting or exceeding all specifications at the quoted bid price. Trash truck 72-15 meets all of the criteria for replacement in the coming fiscal year. Current cost per mile of this vehicle is seventy-one cents ($0.71) compared to an average of thirty cents ($0.30),per mile for the 1990 trucks. Knapp Chevrolet has submitted a proposal to supply the mistakenly ordered trash truck at a cost of $35,996.00, a price of $1,229.00 lower than the original low bid for the truck awarded earlier this year. Staff recommends purchase of the trash truck to replace unit 72-15 from Knapp Chevrolet at the special price quoted of $35,996.00. Using an anticipated inflation factor of 3~, replacement cost of 72-15 in the next budget would be $38,340.00. Early replacement of the unit would result in an anticipated vehicle cost savings of $2,344.00. Additionally, early replacement would result in an anticipated operational savings of approximately $6,150.00 for the coming year. The vehicle meets all specifications as in the earlier bid.. Action Required by Council: Authorize purchase of 1990 trash truck from Knapp Chevrolet at a price of $35,996.00 from Motor Pool Replacement Fund to replace vehicle 72-15.
