Memorandum
To: BRUCE MALKENHORST, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
=_ From: DEBBY NICKENS, PURCHASING
Date: 1/15/2003
Re: COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT REQUISITION #2833
Attached for your approval is requisition #2833. The Community Services
Department is requesting to purchase (2) 2003 Ford F250 XL Regular Cab Pick-
up Trucks. The proposed vehicles will be used by the Street Department crew.
These units will be added to the fleet of vehicles used by the Street Department.
Bob Kipness (Foreman, Building Maintenance/Street) advised Purchasing that (2)
older Street Department units will be transferred to the Garage Fleet for use as
loaner=vehicles. Mr. Kipness advised that one of the units that will be transferred is
unit #277. This vehicle is a 1987 Chevy S 10 Pickup Truck which had a mileage
reading of 100,954 as of 11/22/02. The other unit is yet to be determined.
Purer sing contacted Mr. Willie Kaufinan, (Fleet Salesperson @ Midway Ford), to
cortfxiirn that the Ford model requested would be available. You will recall that there
was a problem with a previous Ford vehicle purchase request for the department.
Apparently, the "XL" model is available in the regular cab truck. The previous
model requested was a "super cab" version.
The Purchasing Section requests authorization to seek bids for the new vehicles.
The Department appropriated $50,000.00 in the department's vehicle fund for this
expenditure.
