Jim reported that the Parks Department has two utility vehicles that are not in the Equipment Replacement Fund and two that are in the Fund. Jim stated that the utility vehicles not in the Fund need to be replaced due to their poor working condition. Jim stated 11 that in order to reduce the cost to the City as much as possible it is proposed that the two utility vehicles not in the Fund be sold at auction in order to remove the expense of maintaining vehicles that are in poor working conditions. Jim reported that the net change is the removal of two pick-ups and two utility vehicles not in the Fund to be replaced with two new utility vehicles. Jim reported that state statute 5-18A-22(19) allows cities to purchase equipment that cost less than $50,000 without bidding. Jim reported that staff contacted six utility vehicle vendors in the area to get quotes on two different types of vehicles and received three quotes on two types of vehicles. Jim reported that one of the vehicles that the City would purchase would be used all year round and would be heavier, have a heated cab, and would have a snow plow. The other vehicle would not be used for snow plowing so the vehicle can be lighter and smaller in size. Jim reviewed the quotes and recommended the purchase of a 2019 Kawasaki Mule Pro Fx EPS for $19,999 and 2019 Kawasaki Mule 4010 for $9,999 from Yankton Motorsports. Jim noted that the quote from Interlakes Sport Center, Madion SD was $1,606 less but the snow plow was manually adjusted vs the Yankton Motorsports which was hydraulic controlled and the distance for maintenance work. Jim recommended approving the resolution to purchase the two utility vehicles. Discussion followed. 426-18 After reading the same once, Alderman Willson moved adoption of the following: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A TWO UTILITY VEHICLES WHEREAS, SDCL 5-18A-22(19) authorizes a governmental entity to purchase equipment that cost less than $50,000 without bidding, and; WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion has reviewed and determined that purchasing a 2019 Kawasaki Mule Pro FX EPS and a 2019 Kawasaki Mule 4010 from Yankton Motorsports of Yankton, South Dakota, for the total amount of $29,998 offers an advantageous price to the City for said items.
