CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for One -Ton Cab and Chassis
MEETING DATE: November 16, 1994
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications for a one -ton cab and
chassis and authorize advertising for bids to be received
December 1, 1994.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Funds to purchase a one -ton cab and chassis for the
Water/Wastewater Division of the Public Works Department were
approved and budgeted in the 1994-95 Sewer Equipment
Replacement Fund. The new unit will replace Service Truck 04-
073, a fully depreciated 1986 Dodge three -quarter -ton pickup with an odometer reading of 77,512
miles. A Plant and Equipment Mechanic uses this vehicle on a daily basis. Other
Water/ Wastewater Division personnel utilize it to respond to system problems and customer calls
after hours, on weekends, and on holidays. Service Truck 04-073 was purchased for $12.030.00
and has accumulated repair costs of $8,989.12. We are upgrading from a three -quarter -ton to a
one -ton king -cab to provide us with more lockable storage area and greater flexibility for a variety of
maintenance functions.
The utility body from the existing service truck will be retained and remounted on the new cab and
chassis. The current service truck will then be transferred to Parks and Recreation after installation
of a truck bed from storage. It will replace Truck 07-115, a 1974 Ford half -ton pickup purchased on
August 4, 1974. Truck 07-115 has an odometer reading of 218,005 miles, an accumulated cost of
$8,425.86, and has served its usefulness. This truck is not of sufficient size nor strong enough to
meet the anticipated needs of the Parks and Recreation Department.
