Discussion:
Two pickup trucks, a 2001 Ford F-350 and a 2002 Ford F-350 (Nos. SK1123 and SK1284) were replaced in 2013 but were retained and used by Public Works as backup vehicles. This year, two 2007 Ford F-350 pickup trucks have been replaced with 2020 models. The two 2007 pickup trucks will now be retained, replacing the older 2001 and 2002 hold over pickup trucks, rotating out the older trucks with higher mileage.
The 2001 Ford F350 (NO. SK1123) has 80k miles and the 2002 Ford F350 (No. SK1284) has 78k miles. These vehicles were evaluated and the Public Works Equipment Committee determined that the useful life of these vehicles has been expended and should be declared surplus inventory. While the vehicles are not necessarily high in mileage, the vehicles are aesthetically in poor condition and worn out with almost 20 years of daily use. Once formally declared surplus, the vehicles will be sold at auction.
