During the 2006 Bndget process, tAe Chy Coweil apprvnd the Durchase of a
mplmement vehicle for ow Lirrecrew. Howevar, ILrm did me allow pundiaing a
replacement. Mils resolution ra{uests authorvnfion Cn purchase a 2W8 Ford F-550 4x4,
diwcl at a oust nncm-exceW S63,O1q.00. The curtmt veidclc U a 1999 PnM F250. The
existing vahide is in t¢cd an expenave repay tbat exceeds tha value of the vehicle. The
vehicle is not operational in its curtm[ condition.
Seward City Coda 6.10.120(8), allows the Ciry m utilbe competitive bids obtaned by
other govemmenW agencies. the City uNlioed the bids obmined by the State of Alaska.
Utilbing the Sum of Alaekx bid not oNy saveN valuable time for staff but we believe
that tha Dilcc ie betM than we would have received by bidding far oncvchida
Repla«mmt of the curtmt vehicle helps mainmin relioble tramponation for department
employees and is ennsistenl with ow departmental replacement schedule. The 1999 Ford
crocks have been nary problematic since dray w m purchased. There Aavc been
nwvecous malls ffom the factory as well as rmeeuning problevu, such as front end and
brakes. This is tM last 1999 Ford vehicle that we have.
'phn new vehirde will bn a heavlcr duty retetl vehicle which shwld alleviate some of 81c
past problems, reduce smin[mmce cost and extent tie lik of the vehicle, allowing kr
Wssible valor remaining at the time ofits scheduled replacement.
