ONE (1) 1 TON EXTENDED VAN (HVAC) – #B06061

Parks and Recreation Department requested bids for a one ton extended cab van to be used as an HVAC vehicle. The van will be used by the HVAC technician that is currently using a standard pick-up which does not have enough room or supply enough security for tools and supplies needed to perform the job.  We requested prices on three options that we would like to include in the purchase, heavy duty flooring in the cargo area, an argent rear step bumper, and a limited slip axle totaling $494.00.  This vehicle is an addition to the fleet.  This purchase was approved by the City Manager.
