MEMORANDUM:
TO: Village Council
FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager -7,--��
DATE: March 1, 1990
SUBJECT: Request to Purchase a Three-Quarter (3/4) Ton
4-Wheel Drive Pick-up Trucks; Agenda Item IX, B
The Village Council allocated $12,000 this fiscal year for the
purchase of one (1) pick-up truck within the Water Department. We
would like to modify the specifications of this pick-up truck and
receive your authorization for the extra funds to accomplish the
same. The desired vehicle specification changes are as follows:
o We would like to secure a three-quarter (3/4) ton vehicle
equipped with a V-8 engine. This upgrade will enable this
vehicle to be designated for transporting the recently
purchased emergency generator to remote well sites. It was
the original intent to utilize a Public Works vehicle
capable of transporting the generator. This Public Works
vehicle, however, will likely need to be used by Public
Works during the same potential emergency situations. The
desired vehicle will also be equipped with heavy duty towing
package.
o 4-wheel drive: By upgrading the vehicle to 4-wheel drive,
the Village personnel will be able, for the first time, to `
collect field data for the remotely located salt water
intrusion monitoring wells dispersed about the central
peninsula upon which our wells are located. Currently the
Village allocates $11, 500 annually for the SWIM Program
which is required by our current water allocation permit
from the South Florida Water Management District.
Currently, this entire program is provided by Gee & Jenson
personnel. We could reduce these costs if our personnel
collected the field samples. Mr. Hall continues to research
the feasibility and cost of the Village acquiring the
necessary computer and programs to generate the necessary
data and reports from the collected field samples.
It is requested that the Village Council authorize the purchase
of one (1) 1990 Ford F-250 4-wheel drive pick-up truck with heavy
duty towing package at the State Contract purchase price of $13, 842,
requesting staff to include the additional allocation of funds in
the amount of $1, 842 within the upcoming Budget Amendment for FY 90.

DATE: February 28 , 1990
SUBJECT: Water Department New Truck Purchase
As you are aware, we have budgeted this year for
purchasing a new vehicle for the Water Department. We had
previously planned for a regular line vehicle. However, due
to the increased job responsibilities (i .e. , mobilization of
the portable generator, access to remote well sites and
future data collection for the S .W. I.M.M. Program) we need a
little larger vehicle than originally planned.
We wish to purchase under State contract from Duval
Ford in Jacksonville, Florida, one (1) 1990 Ford F-250
pickup. This is a 3/4 ton vehicle equipped with a V-8
engine, 4 wheel drive and heavy duty towing package. The
purchase price delivered is $13, 842.00.
It should be noted that upon commencement of Water
Department personnel collecting field data for our
S .W.I.M.M. program, the Village will pay for this vehicle in
three years with monies saved in engineering fees.
I would sincerely appreciate it if this item could be
placed on Council Agenda for their review and approval on
Marchi% 1990.

FROM: Thomas C. Hall , Water System Manager

SUBJECT: Village of Tequesta S.W.I.M.M. Program
Please be advised as of this date I have not had
sufficient time to adequately ascertain the full financial
impact relative to the Water Department taking over the
entire S.W. I.M.M. program. I have however determined it is
feasible to perform the field data collection thereby saving
approximately $7 , 000 a year in engineering fees. We would
need to invest approximately $4, 000 to get the program
rolling. This cost would be for equipment to perform the
necessary field work i .e. , measuring conductivity, draw
downs and water sample collection.
I have not yet been able to obtain sufficient data
relative to purchasing the required hardware and software
for this program, but I will keep you posted as information
becomes available.
