equipment that was advertised for bid for

waited to advertise this item until the
truck chassis that it would be mounted on was
determined. This agenda item is being
presented for Council approval of the bid.
staff researched replacement of our existing
street flusher (1971 model) due to the age
and condition. This vehicle is used for
watering trees and sod in the summer and for
flooding skating rinks in the winter. In
addition, it can be used by the Fire
Department as a supplementary tank truck.
There was $22,000 budgeted in equipment
certificates for this piece of equipment.
This item came in at $18,745. This will allow
staff to add some necessary options such as a
hose reel and additional nozzles. Total cost
of the flusher on the Ford chassis will be
$49,950 or $4,000 less than the $54,000
budgeted.
