RE: Cooperative Purchase of One Ton Dump Chassis for Parks Department
BACKGROUND
The 2020 CIP Major Equipment budget allocated $65,000 to replace a Parks Department dump truck. The
new unit replaces a 2004 F550 dump truck with 59,379 miles. The body on the 2004 unit is rusting out
and its electric over hydraulic dump configuration lacks power and is very slow. 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 F450 Regular Cab 4WD Pickup Truck.
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 $36,882.50. The balance of funds allocated
for this vehicle will be used for an equipment package that will be put out to bid in the coming months.
This purchase will be charged to A/N#: 0323 0610 7210 66006 (Motor Vehicles-1 Ton 4WD TK w/Dump
Body & Cabinets).
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
