HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - April 21, 1999 E-07AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for One Digger -Derrick Truck ($175,000)
MEETING DATE: April 21, 1999
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications and authorize
advertisement for bids for one Digger -Derrick Truck.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Digger -Derrick Truck will replace a 1977 Ford F750 unit (09-001)
with 30622 miles on the odometer. The replacement of this truck is
included in the 1997-99 Fiscal Year Plan and Budget. The guidelines
for replacement (10 years) have been met. The hydraulic system on
this truck has several oil leaks requiring constant attention resulting in
breakdowns and lost productivity as well as causing a safety hazard.
The engine and transmission of this truck has significant additional wear since it provides the power for the
digger, the derrick and hydraulic tools used at the job site continually. Due to the age (22 years) of the
truck and daily usage during this time the overall condition of the truck warrants replacement at this time.
The bid opening date has been set for May 12, 1999.
