Purchase of Three 2025 Ford F-350 Super cab 4x4 Pick-up

COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: July 21, 2025
STAFF REVIEW: Mehul T. Patel, P.E., Director of Public Works SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
For FY 2025, Public Works Department staff have planned and budgeted for the replacement of three
2015 Ford F350 Super cab 4x4 pick-up truck with a Western wideout snowplow in the Streets Division
(Unit 751, 752, 753) with three 2025 Ford F350 Super cab 4x4 pick-up truck with a Western wideout
snowplow. All three units are currently utilized as an everyday vehicle for functions of the Division and
were on an eight-year initial replacement cycle which has been extended to a ten-year cycle. The units
are overdue for a replacement.
The City of West Chicago is a member of the DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference, which is one of
the sponsors of the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC), which is a joint purchasing program that
represents 144 municipalities and townships in northeastern Illinois. In the past, we have had the luxury
of being able to capitalize on the joint bid contracts for such purchases. Sutton Ford is the current
contract holder of the SPC Ford F350 series. Sourcewell is another cooperative purchasing avenue the
City utilizes for fleet purchases which currently also has a contract for F350 series with a base MSRP
(Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) of $50,885.00.
To allow local vendors an opportunity to quote on the 2025 Ford F350 Super cab 4x4 pick-up truck, staff
recently solicited price quotes from multiple Ford dealerships (Four dealers responded). The table below
summarizes the pricing received from interested parties.
Dealer Price Rank
Hopkins Ford (Elgin) $50,375.70 1
Haggerty (West Chicago) $50,447.00 2
Hawk Ford (St. Charles) $51,080.70 3
Sutton Ford (Matteson) $52,096.00 4
Since the price from Haggerty is within the three percent Local Vendor Preference Policy (Resolution 12-
R-0009), based on comparable pricing received, staff recommends ordering three 2025 Ford F-350
Super cab 4x4 pick-up truck from Haggerty Ford of West Chicago, Illinois, for an amount not to exceed
$50,447.00/each for a total of $151,341.00. While a firm order cutoff date is not given, based on current
economic conditions due to the tariffs, staff recommends placing an order as soon as possible.
In FY 2025, $59,600.00/each is budgeted in the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (04-34-39-4804)
for the replacement of Units 751, 752 and 753, for a total of $178,800.00. A third-party vendor will do the
upfit for the vehicle, for which $5,000.00 is budgeted for each unit in the same fund. Western wideout
snowplow purchase will be made from the same fund.
