November 26, 2012 Council Report <br /> 2013 Single Axle Truck <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> If New Brighton signs a purchase agreement in 2012 for the 2013 truck, this truck can be built using the <br /> current 2012 contract pricing. If we wait to purchase the truck until after December 31, 2012, we will <br /> have to purchase a truck with a 3% to 5% increased price due to a new state contract. If the City signs a <br /> purchase agreement before the end of the year, no payments will be made until after the truck is delivered <br /> sometime in the spring of 2013. <br /> Vehicle Condition Index: Public Works has implemented a Vehicle Condition Point Index System to <br /> rate each new vehicle purchase. This system was developed by the American Public Works Association <br /> (APWA) to be used by fleet managers all across the country. This new system factors in Age, <br /> Miles/Hours,Reliability, Maintenance and Repair Costs, Vehicle Condition, and operating cost per mile. <br /> Attached to this memo is the Vehicle Condition Point Index for vehicle# 988 (the single axle proposed to <br /> be replaced). The score is a 37 and qualifies the vehicle for immediate replacement consideration. <br /> The recommendation is to enter into an agreement with Astleford International and Crysteel Truck <br /> Equipment to pay for and take delivery after January 1, 2013. <br /> if <br /> Gran M. yffels,P.E( <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> Attachments <br />
