City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: June 9, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Melanie Hauze, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Resolution 2025-057, Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase a
Maintenance Vehicle for the Parks and Recreation Department in the
Amount of $57,471 with a 10% Contingency
Background and justification:
Parks and Recreation has the task of maintaining parks, campgrounds, trails, parking lots, and
public spaces in Seward. Summer and winter maintenance, particularly snow removal, is hard
on Parks and Recreation fleet vehicles. With public areas the department is responsible for
expanding year after year, reliable maintenance vehicles are a necessity.
To meet the needs of the Parks and Recreation maintenance department, a full-size pick-up truck
with 4x4 capabilities has been chosen. Parks and Recreation received quotes from three dealers,
and found the best value is in a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The truck will be equipped with
accessories and snow tires. Parks and Recreation worked with our automotive technician at the
Public Works department to determine what accessories were necessary.
The Parks and Recreation department is requesting to purchase one 2025 Chevrolet Silverado
1500, equipped with a headache rack, strobe light runners, bed liner, and a set of winter tires for
$57,471 with a 10% contingency from Chevrolet South Anchorage.
