HomeMy WebLinkAbout5.e. Expenditure for Aerial Truck RepairsCITY OF ROSEMOUNT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 5, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: AGENDA SECTIONS
Back in July of 1991 the aerial truck was taken in for evaluation of its
hydraulic systems. At that time the City Council authorized the fire
department to spend up to $4,300 for estimated repairs. The aerial truck
has been in the shop for repairs and waiting for parts and has just been
returned to the fire department in late September.
As we went through the repair process, it was found that many items had to
be replaced instead of being rebuilt. When an item is replaced on this
vehicle it is also necessary to totally re -fabricate and build from scratch
that part as replacement parts are not available. For that reason many
areas of repair exceeded the ball park estimate which we were given back in
July. John Strese has, since July, been working closely with the repair
people and staying on top of each repair that`has been needed . It was
decided to bring a final total to the council for authorization rather than
piece -meal parts as the entire package had to be completed anyway in order
to make the truck operational.
A breakdown of those charges which are in excess of what the council
authorized has been attached. As was previously noted to the council, all
repairs for this vehicle will come out of Account #101-42210-01-221 and
also Account #229.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize the fire department to spend an additional $1,365.61
for aerial truck repairs and further authorize payment of the entire
bill in the amount of $5,665.61.
