City of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Phil Hals, Street/Park Supt.~ ~-~ <br /> <br />February 5, 1996 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Equipment Purchases <br /> <br />In the 1996 budget, I requested a new 12 foot wide front mounted turf mower <br />for an estimated cost of $31,950 and a one ton utility truck for an estimated <br />cost of $29,000. <br /> <br />I am now requesting Council approval to start the bid process for the mower <br />by advertising and accepting bids to be approved by the City Council at a <br />later date. By starting this process soon, we can be assured of having a <br />mower delivered before the mowing season starts. <br /> <br />I would also request Council authorization for the solicitation of quotations <br />for a one ton truck chassis. This purchase would also be approved by the City <br />Council at a future date. By purchasing the cab and chassis and box <br />separately, we can buy the components by quotes without having to take <br />formal bids. <br /> <br />The truck that I am recommending is a one ton, six passenger cab, fiat rack <br />utility bed with a power lift gate. We have a 1982 truck of similar design <br />that we find extremely useful for loading and hauling anything from manhole <br />castings to portable toilets. The six passenger cab is handy for transporting <br />workers to and from job sites or protecting tools, parts, or even grass seed <br />from the weather. This vehicle will be used mainly as a park service vehicle. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br /> <br /> <br />
