AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF TWO VEHICLES FOR THE SAUK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF TWO VEHICLES FOR THE SAUK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Bid requests were sent out and none were received.  We reached out to the State Contract holder Ewald Automotive Group with the specs of the bids.  One bid was received that fulfilled the specifications for both vehicles.  The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox AWD met the bid requirements for both bid requests.  We are requesting to purchase two (2) new 2019 Chevrolet Equinox AWD vehicles.

The total, including license and delivery fee, of $23,226.50 each for a grand total of $46,453 for both vehicles. 

The Health Department was allocated $20,000 from the Ho-Chunk gaming pact monies to purchase a vehicle for the Foot Clinic program, to safely transport three (3) or more staff, and all necessary foot clinic supplies, in one vehicle. This is to assist in keeping mileage costs down thus keeping the cost of the foot clinic service as low and affordable as possible. The additional $3,226.50 will come from unspent wages and benefits saved by the delay in hiring a new Public Health Director and subsequently a Public Health Nurse Manager.

The Environmental Health Department (EH) allocated $25,000 from mandatory carry over fund monies to purchase a vehicle for the inspections of Health Hazards, Lead, Rabies,  DNR (Department of Natural Resources) Water and DATCP inspection (Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection) program to assist in keeping mileage costs down.
