RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are authorized to purchase two Freightliner single axle plow truck chassis from Boyer Trucks Superior for the amount of $262,251.78

Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the purchase of two Freightliner single axle plow truck chassis from Boyer Trucks Superior for the amount of $262,251.78 per MN state contract 242594, Release T-647(5). This purchase is what is included in the 2027 Capital Equipment Plan. This purchase will avoid an estimated $20,000 per chassis price increase that will be implemented in 2027.
The 2014-2015 Fleet Study found that, in order to minimize total City vehicle costs for purchase and maintenance, vehicles of this kind should be replaced before they reach 10 years old. This purchase will replace units 3456 and 3427 which were purchased in 2016 and 2017 with maintenance accumulating 76% and 56% of original purchase price. Both units will be sold at public auction.
