ITEM SUMMARY:
On March 17, 2025, the City Council authorized the purchase of One 2025 Ford F59 Chassis with a Step Van Body
equipped by Sauber Manufacturing from Haggerty Ford of West Chicago, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed
$158,869.00. Haggerty Ford will provide a stripped 2025 Ford F59 Chassis with a 14-feet step van body which will
be customized by Sauber Manufacturing for its intended purpose as a watermain break response truck. Sauber
Manufacturing has a long history of successfully customizing step van projects for utility maintenance and water
main break response.
The delivery of the vehicle was anticipated in the fall of 2025. Sauber Manufacturing was holding its prices until
December 2025. Unfortunately, the delivery of the vehicle has been delayed to mid to late February 2026. Due to
the delay in vehicle delivery, the upfit price has increased by $2,649.00 or 3.2%.
This vehicle will be purchased from the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (04-34-39-4804), which includes a
combined $175,800.00 budgeted in FY 2026 for the replacement of Units 652 and 653. The purchase order will be
split between Haggerty Ford ($76,061.00) and Sauber Manufacturing ($85,457.00). The estimated delivery time for
the chassis is mid to late February 2026 with an additional 30-60 days for the upfit.
When the new unit arrives, the current Units 652 and 653 will most likely be re-purposed for use in other Divisions.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
That the West Chicago City Council authorizes Change Order No. 1 for the purchase of one 2025 Ford F59
Chassis with a Step Van Body equipped by Sauber Manufacturing from Haggerty Ford of West Chicago, Illinois, in
