Casey, Public Works Director Agenda Item: Rescind Resolution 2014-079 and authorize the City Manager to purchase a replacement vehicle from Cal Worthington Ford and new resolution for purchase. BACKGROUND &JUSTIFICATION: The FY 2014 Motor Pool Budget approved by Council Resolution 2013-090 included $75,000 to replace Public Works' Unit #120, a 1988 GMC 3500 Diesel 4x2. This vehicle is a medium duty flatbed truck for operations and maintenance, utilized by most departments in Public Works. The replacement plan of this vehicle is based on years of age(26)and wear on vehicle parts. Due to the age of the vehicle, it is often difficult to find replacement parts and we are forced to find used parts from the salvage yard. The current mileage on this vehicle is 168,512. On October 13,2014,Council passed resolution 2014-079 authorizing the City Manager to purchase a replacement vehicle from Kendall Ford utilizing the State of Alaska's procurement procedures for the Light Duty Vehicle Contract,for an amount not-to-exceed$29,557. Kendall Ford is now under new ownership and no longer participates in the State's program,requiring us to purchase the vehicle through a new vendor. Cal Worthington is a participant in the Light Duty Vehicle program under Contract #CA1900-14-1 and has offered the same vehicle for $30,643 and a new resolution is required. The replacement vehicle will be a gas powered 2015 Ford F450 4x2, with regular cab and chassis and standard work truck specs. Once the cab and chassis has been purchased, Public Works staff will seek competitive bids for the lift bed and accessories and bring it to Council for approval, via Resolution.Though the cab and chassis are slightly higher in price,there will still be adequate funds available for the additional purchase of the lift bed and accessories to come in under the $75,000 budget. INTENT: To rescind Resolution 2014-079 authorizing the City Manager to purchase a replacement vehicle from Kendall Ford, and allowing the purchase of the vehicle from Cal Worthington Ford for an amount not-to-exceed $30,643.
