Roads (1200)
DISCUSSION:
The Roads Maintenance Division intends to purchase two (2) BOSS 8’22” VXT Plows for use on vehicles No. 06276 and 06277. These two Ford one-ton Ext 4WD snowplow trucks were added to the fleet in the current fiscal year. There is a need to purchase a plow for each vehicle to fully outfit the vehicles for use by different roads crews. These plows will be utilized to clear both snow and smaller debris or slides from the roadway. The Public Works Road Maintenance Division received one quote from D&D Seeds and Farms the local vendor for BOSS equipment. BOSS is a division of TORO Company, a member of Sourcewell, formally the National Joint Powers Alliance. Public Works intends to purchase the two BOSS 8’22” VXT Plows under the Toro Company cooperative purchase agreement. The total quoted sales price including taxes and fees is $13,820. A budget transfer is needed to secure the purchase.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The attached budget transfer will increase fixed asset line 8986-Equipment in fund 1200, budget unit (BU) 325- Roads-Maintenance in the amount of $13,461. There are sufficient savings in 8938- Flat Car Bridge for the purchase of the two (2) plows. There will be no impact to the General Fund
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure .
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

The plows attached to each Roads Maintenance vehicle are utilized to clear both snow and smaller debris or slides from county roadways.
