DOUG HARTMAN, PRIOR LAKE FIRE DEPARTMENT
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 95-83
AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF THE 1991 FORD
AMBULANCE (597)
AUGUST 21, 1995
The council was previously advised that the staff would be
soliciting competitive bids for the sale of our ambulance which
is now surplus following Healthspan's assumption of ambulance
service. This agenda item requests council approval of this sale.
On July 29, 1995 staff advertised for the sale of a 1991 Ford
ambulance by competitive bid. The fire department staff
contacted three specific suppliers who expressed interest in the
ambulance. Estimates of vehicle value were also obtained from
these vendors. The bid opening occurred on Tuesday, August
15, 1995 at 10:00 a.m. COT. Only one bid was received. The
results are as follows:
BIDDER
BID
Road Rescue
$27,500.00
Retail. estimates confirmed that the value of the ambulance is
between $20,000 and $30,000. In light of this fact, the single
bid received appears to be reasonable.
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve resolution 95-83 ordering the sale of the ambulance.
2. Table this item for a specific reason.
3. Reject the bid and have staff re-advertise for more favorable
bidding in the future.
4. Reject the bid and do not sell the ambulance.

RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
AGAMBUL.DOC
Staff recommends alternative #1. The City is no longer in the
ambulance business. Therefore, this equipment is surplus to our
needs. The revenue from this sale will be used to supplement
the equipment bonds for the purchase of a new fife pumper
truck.
