MEMORANDUM

Paul Oehme, Public Works Director/City Engineer '( t'
FROM:
Charlie Siegle, Equipment Superintendent
of&.
DATE:
April 27, 2009
SUBJECT: Purchase of 2009 CIP Equipment - PWO 16000
PROPOSED MOTION
"The City Council approves purchase of vehicles and equipment."
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council
present.
DISCUSSION
Annually, the City considers replacement of vehicles and equipment that have
reached their life expectancy and are showing signs of needing major
maintenance. It has been the City's practice to replace these vehicles and
equipment before major repairs are required. The vehicle and equipment needing
to be replaced are used extensively and have to be reliable to maintain appropriate
City services.
JUSTIFICATION
STREET DEPARTMENT - BLACKTOP TRAILER
The 1994 Stepp blacktop equipment trailer to be replaced is 15 years old. This
trailer is used to haul the bobcat and packer to job sites. The trailer has recently
been underrated for the load it is hauling and has issues with the frame cracking.
The trailer is not anticipated to pass DOT inspections this year for safety reasons.
STREET DEPARTMENT - BOBCAT TRAILER
The 1997 Felling bobcat trailer to be replaced is 12 years old. This trailer is very
rusty and it has holes through the fenders and light mounts. The trailer would not
pass the DOT inspection this year and is estimated to cost $3,000 to meet DOT
standards.

STREET DEPARTMENT - HOT BOX P A TCHER
The asphalt hot box patcher proposed to buy would be used to keep the blacktop hot while
patching reducing waste of cold blacktop. The hot box can hold 4 cubic yards of bitmninous and
is able to be used year round. The patcher would also be good for heating up cold mix for
potholes in the winter and repair of watermain breaks.
UTILITY DEP AR TMENT - SUV
The 1999 Dodge pickup #319 to be replaced has 80,000 miles and has severe rust. With 10 years
of use the vehicle will need expensive repairs due to rusted brake and fuel lines and other
underbody rusted parts. The estimated value of this pickup is $2000 to $3000. The new vehicle
is proposed to be a smaller more efficient vehicle that would be used for utility locates. Funding
for this vehicle is programmed from the Sewer Utility Fund.
PARK DEPARTMENT - MOWER
The 1996 580D Mower #451 to be replaced has 5,800 hours and is due for major repairs. This
mower cuts grass seven hours/day, five days/week for the entire summer and is capable of the
same amount of work as 2Y:z workers with the smaller 72" mowers. This mower would be traded
on the replacement mower.
PRICING
Pricing for the vehicle and equipment is taken from the State of Minnesota bid pricing which is
the most competitive pricing available to the City.
