RE: Cooperative Purchase of Ford F150 4WD Pickup for Transportation Department ($35,983)
BACKGROUND
The 2022 CIP Major Equipment budget allocated $40,000 to replace a pickup truck for the Transportation
Department. This vehicle is used by the Transport Maintenance and Mechanics Manager to monitor
Transportation department activities. The new unit replaces a 2012 GMC Colorado pickup truck with
31,008 miles that is beyond its useful service life. The new unit will be a full size pickup truck that will
allow for the transport of additional personnel and will handle better in winter weather conditions. This
memo is to report the purchase of this vehicle pursuant to the cooperative purchase exception of our
purchasing ordinance.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has verified that Ewald Automotive Group holds the State of Wisconsin Department of
Administration contract (#505ENT-M21-VEHICLES-00) for this vehicle. Using this cooperative contract
will save $7,515 from list price.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2022 CIP allocated $40,000 for this purchase. The fiscal impact of this vehicle from Ewald’s state
contract is $35,983. The balance of funds allocated for this vehicle will be used for the necessary
remaining equipment to complete the vehicle in the coming months. This purchase will be charged to
A/N#: 03221728 7210 66014 (MOTOR VEHICLES- Pickup Truck).
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
