City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: October 28, 2024
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Melanie Hauze, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Resolution 2024-057: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase a
Chevrolet Silverado 2500 for $51,897.50 with 10% Contingency and
Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The Parks and Recreation Department currently utilizes a collection of secondhand vehicles to
serve the community. The oldest vehicles in our fleet are from 1994 and 2000 which are set for
surplus this fall. The vehicles used for parking compliance are a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 and a
1997 Dodge Ram 1500, both of which were handed down from different departments. All
vehicles operated by Parks and Recreation are dual purpose vehicles depending on the season,
which makes reliability and durability extremely important. Additionally, our department does
not have a vehicle with towing capabilities that meet our needs. This requires our department to
borrow vehicles when the need arises, which is onerous for us and the department lending the
vehicle.
The department needs a new truck to effectively maintain our areas of responsibility within the
City. Our current fleet of vehicles is a source of concern in terms of reliability, maintenance
costs, and public perception. Older vehicles will experience reduced performance capabilities,
decreased fuel efficiency, and inevitable mechanical failure. The aforementioned factors can
impact revenue seeking operations as well, specifically parking compliance, which collected
approximately $480,000 in daily parking fees and permit sales in the 2024 season.
The Parks and Recreation department seeks to purchase one new 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
crew cab truck through city procurement process in the amount of $51,897.50 with a 10%
contingency, from Chevrolet of Wasilla. Parks and Recreation obtained 3 quotes for vehicles
from different dealerships. Chevrolet of Wasilla presented the most quality quote.
