Title
Consideration of and action on approving an additional price surcharge for trucks purchased in the FY21-22 Budget, Re-budgeted into FY22-23, for the Fire Department.
Body
Summary:
At the October 19, 2021 City Council meeting, City Council authorized the purchase of three (3) Ford F-250 trucks for the Fire Department through the GoodBuy Purchasing Program.
- 2022 Ford F250 - Fire Department Duty Officers - Original price - $50,163.75
- 2022 Ford F250 - Fire Department Safety Officers - Original price - $50,163.75
- 2022 Ford F250 - Fire Department OEM Director - Original price - $50,163.75
Unfortunately, on Thursday, November 17, 2022, we received an email stating that Ford has now cancelled all 2022 F250 trucks ordered in 2021. With that being said, we can re-order 2023 Ford F250 with anticipated delivery in spring / summer of 2023. Ford is implementing a price increase per vehicle. Below is the new price of each truck.
- 2023 Ford F250 - Fire Department Duty Officers - New price - $63,045.00
- 2023 Ford F250 - Fire Department Safety Officers- New price - $63,045.00
- 2023 Ford F250 - Fire Department OEM Director - New price - $63,045.00
Due to supply chain issues, City Management has approved the advanced purchases for the re-order of the three (3) Ford F250.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
A budgeted amount of $188,000 is included in the FY22-23 Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, Automobiles & Light Trucks. Even with the additional price increase of $12,882 per truck (total $38,645), the amount budgeted is sufficient to cover the additional cost.
Recommended action:
Approve an additional price surcharge for trucks purchased in the FY21-22 Budget, Re-budgeted into FY22-23, for the Fire Department.
