Meeting April 16, 2024 - JOINT VILLAGE BOARD & FINANCE COMMISSION WORKSHOP AND VILLAGE BOARD MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD Fiscal Impact (Y/N) Y Dollar Amount $85,686.00 Budget Source Vehicle Replacement Fund Category CONSENT AGENDA Type Action Item Information In the current budget, there are sufficient funds available to procure components needed to complete the build -out of one (1) newly purchased tandem axle 58,000 GVWR dump truck. This vehicle is typically outfitted for snow and ice control operations on highways and major arterial collector streets. The Village Board approved the purchase of a cab and chassis for this replacement unit at the January 4, 2022, Village Board meeting. The completed cab and chassis was recently delivered to the Public Works Facility. It took 2 years and 3 months to build. Remaining components necessary to outfit this vehicle for Public Works Department service include the dump body, hydraulics (computerized controls, pumps, and hoses), snow plow, salt spreader, emergency lighting, and miscellaneous connectors (hoses, fittings, etc.). Discussion Staff propose to procure a radial dump spreader body for this truck. The bottom of the dump body forms a radius to direct salt to the auger system on the bottom of the bed. In addition, metal plates can be affixed over the auger system to enable the truck to haul other materials during the construction and growing seasons. The total cost of this proposed purchase is $85,686.00. These components are available through a Sourcewell joint purchasing contract awarded to Monroe Truck of Monroe, Wisconsin. Sourcewell has an existing contract (Sourcewell contract #062222-AEB-1) with Monroe Truck. The Village is a member of Sourcewell and is eligible to participate in this contract. This contract satisfies Village of Mount Prospect public bidding requirements. The Village has purchased dump bodies and salt spreaders from Monroe in the past.
