Discussion:
The following equipment to be replaced and purchased are included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plans:
Police Department- 2020 Ford Utility Police Interceptors AWD
Replacement of four marked patrols Nos. sk1035, sk1036, sk1038 and sk1039 are included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (see attached information sheet CIP No. Equip-20-311). While the CIP prescribes the replacement of six marked patrols, an evaluation of the current marked patrol fleet resulted in only 4 needing replacement at this time. Adjustments will be made to the CIP for future years.
These vehicles are being purchased under the State of Minnesota Contract No. 158505. Vehicle set up is anticipated to be performed by Emergency Automotive Technologies, Inc. and components purchased under the state contracts. The quotations from Tenvoorde Ford Motor Co. and Emergency Automotive Technologies, Inc. (EATI), are attached and consistent with state contracts. The cost of the vehicles are $34,179.56 each, plus an additional $10,774.48 each for the equipment install and setup for a total of $44,954.04 per marked patrol.
Once replaced, the four old patrol vehicles with 87k miles, 96k miles, 89k miles and 86k miles will be rotated to replace older holdover vehicles that are currently used for city staff vehicles. The old holdover vehicles will be brought to city council separately and declared surplus to be sold at auction at a later date.
Fire Department- Kubota ATV And Equipment
The replacement of the Fire Departments all-terrain vehicle (ATV) No. sk1008 is included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (see attached CIP sheet Equip-20-332). Three quotes were obtained for the Kubota ATV with Lano Equipment Inc. being the low bidder ($20,810). The purchase of accessory equipment and set up of the ATV will be performed by EATI ($2,319.80). The trailer is being purchased from Ace Trailer Sales under State of Minnesota Contract No. 156358 ($5,939.00).
The old 2010 Ranger has been evaluated, is no longer needed and has been determined that the useful life has been expended and should be declared surplus inventory. Once formally declared surplus and the new ATV is in service, this ATV will be sold at auction.
Fire Department- Zodiac Boat and Trailer
The replacement of a boat/trailer No. sk1264 is included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (see attached CIP sheet Equip-20-323). A quote from Great American Marine in the amount of $17,799.00 is attached. No other Zodiac dealers exist in the state to obtain a second quote; however, an online comparative pricing search for the boat, motor and trailer were performed that adequately validates the quote.
The old boat/motor and trailer have been evaluated, are no longer needed and have been determined that the useful life of this equipment has been expended and should be declared surplus inventory. Once formally declared surplus and the new equipment is in service, the old boat/motor and trailer will be sold at auction.
