Kittitas County <br />Public Health Department <br /> <br />BOH Staff Report <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: <br />March 15, 2022 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />The Board of County Commissioners approve the surplus trade-in for two Ford Escapes and a <br />Ford 150 used by Kittitas County Public Health Department (KCPHD) for newer vehicles with <br />less miles. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The two Ford Escapes (2008) have high mileage and the Ford 150 (2014) pickup has over 100K <br />miles. The vehicles have mechanical issues, such as a vehicle wobbling over 50 mph, which can <br />affect staff safety. With the age and current miles on these vehicles, and the projected annual <br />miles that our Environmental Health Inspectors put on these vehicles, it is prudent to replace <br />the vehicles now. Due to a manufacture cancellation on our previous order, and with no <br />estimated time of arrival for a new build, KCPHD coordinated with the Auditor’s Office to <br />request to use a local vendor. KCPHD compared three similar vehicles between three local <br />vendors before deciding on based on job duty requirements such as fuel mileage, clearance <br />height, and capacity. Currently the vendor is offering near the top end of the Kelly Blue Book <br />value for trade-in on our current vehicles. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: <br />Kittitas County Auditor’s Office: Reviewed and Approved 03/04/2022 <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Board of County Commissioners approve the trade-in of Ford Escape (VIN- <br />1FMCU93G39KA19248) Ford Escape (VIN-1FMCU93G59KA19249) and Ford 150 Pickup (VIN- <br />1FTFX1ET4EKD69745). These replacements will provide safer and more reliable vehicles for <br />staff at the Kittitas County Public Health Department. <br /> <br />HANDLING: <br />N/A <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: <br />Jesse Cox <br />Daniel Suggs
