AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff is recommending the City Council approve a fleet vehicle purchase.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The 2026 Fleet Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the addition of an extended cab pickup equipped with a
flatbed. This chassis provides better towing capability and allows for easier loading and unloading of implements
while in the field and also minimizes having to bring additional trucks or trailers to work areas.
Staff requested state contract quotes from Midway Ford for the truck chassis and Surefitters for the truck buildout
and we have received quotes of $75,392.17 and $14,000.58 respectively. This brings the total purchase price for the
truck to $89,392.75, within the Capital Improvement Plan budget of $90,000.
The Public Works Subcommittee was presented with this information at their January 21, 2026, meeting and
recommended consideration of approval by the City Council.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ATTACHED:
• Quote – Midway Ford
• Quote - Surefitters
