Detailed Background
The city currently utilized three tandem dump trucks and two
single axle dump trucks in the Street division. The dump trucks
are used for snow plowing and sanding, and hauling of various
materials such as snow, dirt, asphalt, leaves, and street
sweepings.
Analysis of Issues
o Is the award to J. Craft Inc. for the dump body, and snow
equipment in the best interest of the city?
Public Works staff has reviewed the MnDOT specifications and
bid amounts and feel that by tagging on to the state and
county bid the city will be receiving the best value for our
money.
Is the bid within the budgeted amount?
The estimated cost for the completed tandem dump truck with
snow equipment was $79,100. The final amount after the
state bids were received is $83,614. The added cost is
partially due to a decision by staff to add a sander to the
new truck at a cost of $2,308. Other added costs were due
to a longer box and a bed hoist with stabilizer that is
required for this type of unit and installing DOT approved
warning lights. With these items deducted from the bid
amount, the actual cost is within the budgeted amount.
The tandem truck that it is replacing is a 1979
International with a gas engine. This truck when completed
will be a valuable addition to the cities snow plowing
fleet.
