‘To: Town Board Members

I respectfully request the Town Board approval of the Purchase of a 2027 Slate EV 4X2 Pickup
Truck for $25,449.99. It is the Base Model with Red Wrapping option. It will require a $300 Deposit
to order to be paid out of DB5130.217. A delivery date will be sometime in 2027, which will be
determined after the deposit is paid. This remainder be paid for out of DB5130.217 in the 2027
Budget.

Slate is an online purchase through the manufacturer, so this is a Proprietary Price with no way to
bid a comparable alternative. It is currently the lowest price new Pickup Truck available in the
United States regardless of Drivetrain.

As a comparison of other suitable pickups to the needs of the Highway Department, I have attached
the following alternative vehicles that are also low-cost vehicles:

2026 Ford Maverick Gas 4X2- $30,685
2026 Ford Ranger Gas 4X2- $36,635
2026 Ford F150 Gas 4X2- $41,820

This will replace a 2014 Ford F150 Gas 4X2 Pickup which will be declared surplus and auctioned
off next year.

Sincerely,

 David M. Gunner
 Superintendent of Highways
