The equipment was reviewed <br /> in detail when the Fleet Committee met with the Council in 2012. <br /> ■ 1-ton F-450 truck from Nelson Auto Center for$31,957.89 <br /> ■ Flatbed body for the F-450 from Towmaster Truck Equipment for$13,570.99. <br /> ■ Caterpillar 305ECR mini excavator through Zeigler for $69,614.10. This is a 2012 demo unit with <br /> 358 hours and is priced $5,875.99 less than a new 2013 model. It is under the state contract and <br /> has two years of warranty remaining. <br /> ■ Grapple loader rake from Titan Machinery for $16,164.84. <br /> ■ Dymax hydraulically adjustable fork from Zeigler for$11,515.78. This is not under state contract <br /> but will work with both of the Cat loaders. <br /> ■ 20 ft. Felling trailer from Scharber's Equipment for$5,788.25. This trailer will house various <br /> traffic control devices purchased through our local suppliers. Trailer and supplies will not exceed <br /> the budgeted$30,000. <br /> With the new maintenance facility and the increased amount of time needed to clean the floors,the Fleet <br /> Committee recommended a small sweeper to clean the large and small vehicle storage areas. Due to the <br /> importance of this, staff has reprioritized the street purchases and will get fewer loader attachments to <br /> fund the sweeper out of the 2013 equipment budget.The Committee recommends the purchase of an <br /> MS20 Tennant sweeper from the Tennant Corporation for$29,974.68. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT <br /> Total 2013 Streets Equipment Budget is $203,000. Actual total cost of above equipment including the <br /> sweeper is $202,798.28. The replacement items will be auctioned off in the near future. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> ■ 2013 Equipment Replacement Fund Purchases <br /> P O W E R E D BY <br /> N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\05-06-2013\4.8 sr Street Department PurchasesX£docx NAURE] <br />
