Action Give staff direction on the purchase of a vehicle for the Building
Requested: Official.
Deadline/ N/A
Timeline:
Background: • At the January 15th 2008, Council meeting the City Council
authorized staff to present options towards the purchase of a
vehicle.
• The Ford Ranger is a%z ton, 6' box, V6 3.OL or 4.OL engine pick
up truck. A pick up truck is desirable for other City uses and a 4-
wheel drive truck may be needed occasionally.
• Elk River Ford Dodge gave the City bids off of the State bid for
both a Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota.
4x2 Reg Cab $11,731.95 4x4 Reg Cab $15,063.95
4x2 Ext Cab 2 door $13,178.95 4x4 Ext Cab 2 door$16,602.95
4x2 Ext Cab 4 door $16,602.95 4x4 Ext Cab 4 door$17,300.95
The Dakota ranges in price from$15,500 to $20,000.
• The bid prices do not include sales tax. Elk River Ford can get
delivery in 60 days but may do better with the Ranger.
• Listings on Carsoup.com were obtained fur a Ford Ranger
between 2002 and 2007.
Recommenda My recommendation would be to go with the State bid, as the prices
tion: are similar to a used vehicle. The Ford RangEr 4x2 Regular Cab
(under$13,000 w/tax) and the Ford Ranger 4x2 2 door Extended Cab
(about$14,000 w/tax) are within the City's $15,000 budget. The Ford
Ranger 4x4 Regular Cab exceeds the budgeted amount by
approximately$1000 (after tax). The other Ford and Dodge trucks all
exceed the City's budget fairly substantially.
