<br />* Item 3J8* <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Gary Leirmoe, WWTP Chief Operator <br /> <br />DATE: january II, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase a Pick-up Truck and Larger <br />Hydraulic Hoist for One Ton Truck <br /> <br />The 2005 Wastewater Budget contains funding for a new % ton pick-up truck and a <br />larger hydraulic hoist. The truck would replace a 1992 Dodge. The 1992 Dodge would go to <br />the Building Maintenance Department, as they are in need of a 4x4 truck that will handle a <br />snow plow. <br /> <br />The hoist would replace a smaller hoist that was purchased in 2001.While the hoist is only <br />four years old, we have a need for a larger hoist with more cable capacity. The hoist is used <br />for removing pumps from lift stations and the existing hoist does not have large enough <br />cable to pull the larger pumps from the two new lift stations without having to double the <br />cable up with a snatch block. This is a safety hazard and is very time consuming, The new <br />hoist would have larger cable and 30 more feet of cable. The old hoist would go to the Street <br />Department, as they have a need for it. <br /> <br />The following quotes were received; <br /> <br />% Ton 4x4 Pick-Up - State Contracts <br /> <br />Chevrolet- Thane Hawkins Polar <br />White Bear Lake,Mn. <br />$ 21,157.85 pIus Tax <br /> <br />Ford-Rochester Ford <br />Rochester,Mn. <br />$ 22,981.29 plus tax <br /> <br />Hoist <br /> <br />J -Craft <br />$ 16,572.47 <br /> <br />Crysteel <br />$15,890.42 <br />
