SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The 2018 budget includes the purchase of new and replacement Fleet units. At the February 27, 2018, Board of Trustees meeting, the Board approved purchase of a Parks pickup from John Elway Chevrolet to replace unit 311, a 2002 Ford F150 Pickup.
After the approval, Staff contacted the vendor to start the ordering process. The vendor stated ordering of the Chevy 2500 and 3500 are suspended for production as the factory has closed for relocation. They anticipate the suspension will be lifted in 2019. With this, Staff received a state bid from Sill-Ter Har Ford for a F250 with the same options and accessories (tool box, tow package, bed liner, light bar, graphics, etc from various vendors).
Staff recommends purchase of the F250 from Sill-Ter Har Ford authorizing the additional $2,256 expenditure.
