Youth Hockey <br />committed to paying for the ice plant skid and recommended that a used <br />piece of equipment be installed in the new facility. To this end, the Youth <br />Hockey organization had evaluated and researched used equipment and <br />came to the conclusion that a number of viable pieces of equipment were <br />available. <br /> <br />Equipment for ice arenas is tax exempt if the city is constructing and owning <br />the facility. Youth Hockey committed to paying for this equipment, but the <br />city took the lead and bid the equipment with the understanding that Youth <br />Hockey would finance this purchase. In July, the city received one bid from <br />Arena Systems for the used ice plant skid. After evaluation of this bid, the <br />city and Youth Hockey are recommending award of this contract to Arena <br />Systems in the amount of $70,000. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion awarding the ice <br />plant skid bid to Arena Systems in the amount of $70,000 contingent upon <br />the city receiving funds from Youth Hockey for this expenditure. <br /> <br />council\iceeqpt.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
