' ~ity of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />M£MORAND M <br /> <br />Item #3.9. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Bruce A. West, Fire Chief/Safety Coordinato~ <br />June 12, 2000 <br /> <br />Request for Purchase of Industrial Work Platform <br /> <br />On behalf of the Elk River Safety Committee, I am requesting council <br />approval for the purchase of one industrial work platform. The City of Elk <br />River Safety Committee has been hard at work identifying some of our safety <br />weaknesses and hazards within our city departments. One of the Safety <br />Committee's first priorities was the request to purchase an industrial <br />platform commonly called a high lift. Currently, our departments are using <br />stepladders and standing on top rungs at heights of fourteen feet or more for <br />changing light bulbs and other tasks at ceiling levels. This unsafe practice <br />needs to be addressed immediately and it was identified that an industrial <br />work platform should be purchased to help perform these duties and tasks in <br />a safe manner. <br /> <br />Case Hayward, from the Elk River Ice Arena, was in charge of requesting <br />proposals from various equipment companies for the purchase of an <br />industrial work platform. He received two quotes in reference to a Genie, <br />25S-DC Industrial Work Platform: <br /> <br />Rental Services Corporation <br />United Rentals <br /> <br />$5,913.00 <br />$5,947.13 <br /> <br />Each of the above quotes includes a one year service contract. On behalf of <br />the Elk River Safety Committee I would like to accept the proposal of United <br />Rentals, located in St. Michael, Minnesota in the amount of $5,947.13. United <br />Rentals is a local company that has an industrial platform in stock at this <br />time for immediate delivery. Also with United Rental and its location, our <br />service on the industrial work platform will be taken care of in an expedient <br />nature. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
