EOty1� ,.,�� Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 4.8 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> ConsentJanuary 6, 2020 Tim Sevcik, Street and Park Superintendent <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> 2020 Street Maintenance Division Capital Justin Femrite, Public Works Director <br /> Improvement Plan Purchase Reviewed by <br /> Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Action Requested <br /> Approve,by motion, the purchase of two 2020 Mack tandem axel plow trucks with Towmaster <br /> equipment for snow removal efforts. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> The purchase of these two trucks was approved in the 2020 Equipment Replacement Fund. These trucks <br /> will replace unit 231, a 2003 Sterling tandem axel plow truck, and unit 235, a 2006 International tandem <br /> axel dump truck,within the street division fleet. <br /> The new plow trucks will be 2019 Mack AF Granite 64FR (T) TA cab and chassis with a Towmaster box <br /> and plowing accessories. The total cost for each Mack cab and chassis is $126,145 and $122,592 for the <br /> Towmaster components for a total state contract price of$248,737. <br /> Staff recommends retaining unit 235 as a spare truck as the Streets Division transitions from 8 to 9 plow <br /> routes in 2020-2021. Currently the city maintains a 9 truck fleet with 8 primary trucks and one spare. <br /> With the addition of the 91h route, this will allow the city to maintain one spare truck without an <br /> additional purchase. In the future,when plow trucks are replaced from the fleet the truck will rotate down <br /> to being the spare and the spare truck will be disposed of through auction or trade. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The total cost of each truck with snow plowing components is $248,737. The projected budget amount <br /> for the purchase of each truck with snow plowing components approved in the 2019 Equipment <br /> Replacement fund was $255,000. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Nuss Truck and Equipment—Mack Truck Quote <br /> ■ Towmaster—Mack Accessory Quote <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
