Subj: Revised Capital Equipment Reserve Fund (CERF) Purchase for School Department
At its June 2™ meeting the Finance Committee approved the purchase of a 2021 Ford Transit in the
amount of $36,655. Unfortunately when we went to the vendor (Grappone Ford} to move the
purchase forward, we were informed the 2021 mode! year was no longer available.
Attached is the quote for the 2022 Ford Transit in the amount of $40,755. Apparently the government
incentive for this particular vehicle went from $8,000 in 2021 down to $3,800 for 2022, accounting for
the increase in pricing. Even with this increase we are still well below the CERF funds set aside for
School Department vehicles in FY21.
| request the Finance Committee approve the new quote for the 2022 Ford 350 Transit in the amount
