Agenda Item Summary:
The City of Rapid City's Fleet and Equipment Maintenance group requests approval for the purchase of a new 2024 late model year F750 utility service truck equipped with an RM-78 heavy duty crane, including full warranties and available for immediate delivery.This purchase will enhance operational efficiency by avoiding prolonged lead times and uncertainties associated with newly manufactured vehicles. Additionally, acquiring this late model unit is a fiscally responsible decision, offering significant cost savings compared to newly built models.The equipment will be utilized immediately upon delivery, as its crane is necessary due to the current unavailability of overhead hoists in the mechanics shop. Furthermore, two fleet vehicles with similar capabilities are currently non-operational and have exceeded their useful lifespan, reinforcing the urgency of this acquisition. This purchase represents a cost effective and a fiscally responsible investment that supports the City's stance for long term sustainability with the fleet while ensuring the City's mechanics have the reliable equipment needed to keep essential City operations running efficiently.
