RE: Cooperative Purchases of Vehicles for Wastewater Treatment Plant and Sign Shop
BACKGROUND
This memo is to report two recent vehicle purchases pursuant to the cooperative purchase exception of
our purchasing ordinance. The first vehicle is a service truck (truck chassis + service body) for the
Wastewater Treatment Plant, replacing their 2002 unit. The second vehicle is a utility truck with a
hydraulic pounding boom for the Sign Shop, replacing their 1998 unit.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has confirmed that Ewald Automotive Group holds the State of Wisconsin Department of
Administration contract (#505ENT-M17-2017VEHICS-00) for these vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of the WWTP truck chassis from Ewald's state contract pricing with delivery
minus $3,000 for the trade-in is $38,312. The 2017 CIP allocated $95,000 for this vehicle. The total fiscal
impact of the Sign Shop truck chassis from Ewald's state contract pricing with delivery minus $3,200
trade-in is $27,881. The 2017 CIP allocated $100,000 for this vehicle. The remaining balances of both
vehicle's CIP allocation will be used to purchase their respective remaining service body and hydraulic
boom components.
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
