RE:                 FY 2007/2008 Vehicles Purchases

 

As a part of the City’s five (5) year Capital Plan, the City staff is requesting the purchase of three (3) new vehicles during the 2007/2008 fiscal year.  Listed below, please find a list of vehicles we wish to purchase this year.  These vehicles will be purchased for a total amount of $72,080.00 through the Florida Sheriff’s Association Bid # 067-15-0827 and assigned to the Public Works/Utilities and Parks and Recreation Departments. These vehicles will replace vehicles that are scheduled for surplus due to age, condition, and the cost of maintaining them for another year.  Funds for these purchases will be provided from 2007-08 FY Budget – Vehicle Maintenance Internal Service Fund 5013940-564770.

 

This year’s purchases include a pick-up truck to be used in daily operations, and a new cargo van for Public Works/Utilities Department.  The purchase of the cargo van for Public Works/ Utilities will allow the crew the ability to carry  a complete load of inventory of parts and tools for repair and maintenance of the City’s sewer and water system in the cargo van without having the need to return to the compound for additional materials.  This will help them to finish a project in a timely manner. In addition, this year’s purchases include a mid size sedan for the Parks and Recreation Director. This vehicle is only a 6 cylinder car instead of an 8 cylinder Crown Victorias that we have usually bought in the past. Therefore, it is  a much cheaper vehicle.  Once the new vehicles have been received, we will bring back to the Commission a list of vehicles and equipment that we recommend to be declared surplus and sold at an auction or disposed of in another manner.
