Fund: Motor Vehicle Maintenance Account: 604080 Program: 1702 Vehicle & Equip Replacement Plan (16-7500) Amount: $79,351.50 Budget Status: Budget Exists |
Equipment Services is requesting authorization to spend $52,406.25 to replace GMC 3500 small dump truck, vehicle #534A, and $26,945.25 to replace #478A a Ford Explorer.
This request is for the replacement of GMC 3500 small dump truck, vehicle #534A, and a 2004 Ford Explorer #478A. These vehicles have maintenance costs that exceed the value of the vehicles, and no longer meet the needs of the Drains and Sewer Departments. 534A will be sold at auction at a later date, and 478A may be reused as a “loaner Vehicle” for the City Garage.
In sourcing these vehicles, if approved, the City would be using the joinder provision allowed under NRS 332.195, and purchasing this vehicle utilizing the State of Nevada vehicle bid. Utilizing existing bids have historically been the most competitive. Utilizing the “joinder” provision allows the City to precisely define the vehicles needed while foregoing the need to formally bid the item.
I move to approve the purchase of this vehicle from Carson Dodge in the amount of $79,351.50.
