Ji <br />Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway • PO. Box 430 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0430 <br />June 3, 2008 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Electric Line Truck <br />Phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax: 763.441.8099 <br />We typically trade-in our trucks on a 10,000 hour or 10 year whichever is less time frame. This <br />criteria has seemed to work well and minimized excessive maintenance costs and down time. <br />Staff is requesting authorization to prepare plans and specifications to replace a 1999 Freightliner <br />FL70 with a 55 aerial material handling boom with a new model. The 1999 Freightliner would <br />be traded in. Estimated cost is in the $155,000 range with delivery in the first quarter of 2009. <br />Although this electric line truck has been a good one, it is 10 years old with 6400 hours and is <br />spending more and more time in the repair shop. It is time to replace it. <br />
