RE: Cooperative Purchase of Ford Super Duty F350 Pickup Truck for Fire Department
BACKGROUND
The 2020 CIP Major Equipment budget allocated $43,000 to replace a Fire Department pickup truck. The
new unit replaces a 1995 GMC K3500 Pickup truck that has heavy rusting on its body, chassis, suspension
and brake lines and is beyond its useful service life. This memo is to report this vehicle purchase
pursuant to the cooperative purchase exception of our purchasing ordinance. The new vehicle is a 2020
Ford Super Duty F350 XL 4WD SuperCab with an 8' box.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has verified that Ewald Automotive Group holds the State of Wisconsin Department of
Administration contract (#505ENT-M19-2019VEHICS-00) for this vehicle.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this vehicle from Ewald's state contract is $35,150.00. The balance of funds allocated
for this vehicle will be used for supplemental equipment that will be procured in the coming months.
This purchase will be charged to A/N#: 0323 0230 7210 66002 (Motor Vehicles- 1 Ton Pickup Truck
w/Crew Cab).
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager, cooperative
purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local, state or federal governmental unit or agency may
be made without following a competitive bidding or quotation process. In accordance with Section 12-
15 of the Municipal Code, I am hereby submitting a report of this purchase to the Common Council. If
you have any questions on this purchase please contact myself or General Services Manager Jon Urben.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
