Re: Public Works Replacement Pickup Truck Purchase
The Public Works Department is requesting a Purchase order for $40,778.00 for the purchase of 2023
Ford F-250, single cab, 2X4 Pickup from Bozard Government Sales. The purchase price for this vehicle is
per the current Florida Sheriff's Association Bid. I requested a quote from the local Ford dealer but did
not receive a response. Of the three manufacturers offering this type of truck on the Sheriff's Bid, Ford
was the second lowest. Although Chevrolet had a lower price than Ford, when I contacted them I was
informed that vehicles are not available.
This truck will replace either a 1997 or 2003 Ford F-150 which will be disposed of by auction. Both
vehicles have issues and the final determination as to which vehicle to sell will be made when the new
truck arrives.
Pricing for new vehicles has increased dramatically over the last two years. This purchase is over the
$32,000.00 budgeted for the new truck. A budget amendment for $43,000.00 will be made during the
midyear budget amendment. The additional funds are needed for the purchase of warning lights and
other equipment for the truck. Public Works will purchase and install these items separately. We have
found this to be more economical in the past.
