City of <br /> Elk=' Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 4.11 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Consent February 18, 2014 Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Authorization to Purchase 2014 Skid Steer Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Tim Simon, Finance Director <br /> Action Requested <br /> Approve,by motion,the purchase of a 2014 CAT Skid Steer with accessories and attachments. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> The Parks and Recreation Department is seeking authorization to purchase a budgeted 2014 skid steer to <br /> be used for performing general park maintenance functions. <br /> The current 2003 skid steer with tracks is scheduled to be replaced on a 10 year rotation. It will have a <br /> total of 11 years of use and an estimated 2,500 hours of use when replaced. Over the past 10 years,the <br /> department has put on a significant amount of hours on the machine. <br /> The vendor on the state contract is Ziegler CAT and per the city purchasing policy, any single purchase <br /> estimated to exceed$50,000 requires Council approval. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The total cost of the skid steer with accessories and attachments is $57,313. The equipment replacement <br /> fund budget for this equipment was estimated at$54,500. The difference will be made up from a $2,372 <br /> savings on the purchase of a mower and$571 savings from the purchase of a snowmobile. We will still <br /> be under budget by$130 on all three parks department purchases for 2014. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ 2014 Equipment Purchases spreadsheet <br /> P a w E A E U s r <br /> NaA f RE] <br />
