OF UTILITIES <br />Director Pinto reviewed the following and believed it is <br />self-explanatory: <br />TO: <br />THRU: <br />CHARLES P. BALCZUN <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />TERRANCE G. PINTO <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILITYII4 ICES <br />FROM: JOHN F. LANG <br />ENVIRONMENTAL S'ECIALIST <br />DEPARTMENT OF U ILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: DUMP TRUCK <br />DATE: JANUARY 19, 1988 <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Department of Utility Services with its recent acquisition of the <br />Bent Pine and Rivers Edge utility systems has become a county -wide <br />utility. Our dump truck is a 1979 model Ford and was acquired from <br />the Road & Bridge Department. The original intention was to have a <br />flat bed dump truck in next year's budget; however, due to the <br />deteriorating condition of our old unit and the distances it must <br />travel, we need another unit now. <br />ANALYSIS <br />A flat bed dump truck would have the capability of moving men, <br />equipment, and machinery to our county -wide job sites. We currently <br />only have the old dump truck that is capable of towing our two <br />backhoes, ditch digger, and soon to be acquired tractor with <br />implements. The cost is estimated to be less than $27,00.00. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners authorize the bidding out of this piece of <br />equipment and the use of funds from account #471-218-536-066.42. <br />This is the Equipment Fund account for West Regional Wastewater <br />Treatment Plant. <br />40 <br />
