RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends that the Board authorize expenditure of funds to purchase Ford 150 truck from Salinas Valley Ford at a not-to-exceed price of $33,000, which includes contingencies for documentation and additional taxes if required by law.  This authorization would also include trading-in the old vehicles (unit #6 & Unit #10). Trade-in figure is not known at this time.  

 

BACKGROUND:  The Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget includes $40,000 for the purchase of Ford F150 4x4 truck.  In order to make it accessible for field use, the vehicles must be equipped with four-wheel drive function.  This will be a pool vehicle and will be accessible for use to Environmental Resources and Water Resources divisions of the District.
