Authorize Purchase of Paver Trailer
This item consist of requesting Council to authorize the purchase of a
trailer to haul our paver and other miscellaneous equipment around with.
This memo provides some background to this request, funding sources for this
request and the recommended action for Council to consider.
Last May 15 Council authorized the receiving of bids and purchase of our
self-propelled asphalt paver. With that request the Public Works Department
had indicated the need to purchase a trailer to haul the paver around with.
The Public Works Department was still evaluating the type of trailer that we
needed and was not ready at that time to request purchasing one. Since that
time, we have evaluated our needs and have located the type of trailer that
would suite the department best. The trailer that we are looking at is a
20, 000# capacity trailer which will allow us to haul our
tractor/loader/backhoe in addition to the paver, bobcat and roller. The
quotes that were received were from Carlson Tractor & Equipment and Ruffridge
E. Johnson Equipment. Carlson Tractor had the low quote of $8,994 .
Ruffridge Johnson quoted $10,400.
Attached is a table that summarizes the 'Public Works Departments C.I.P.
balance as of July 24, 1990. As you can see from the total budgeted less
the amount spent and the amount encumbered we have $6, 000 remaining. In
addition to that $6, 000, I had budgeted $10, 000 under the category of "Paved
Streets" (101-43121-01-384) for the disposal of street sweeping materials at
the local landfill. However, Dakota County Environmental Officials have
indicated that it is alright to stockpile or place street sweeping materials
in clean fills as long as they stay out of wetlands. There is over $9, 000
available in this account. I would request that the difference between the
$6, 000 and $8,994 be taken from this account leaving a balance of $6,430 in
this account and zeroing out the C.I.P. balance account.
Requested action for Council to consider is to approve the purchase of a
20, 000# trailer from Carlson Tractor & Equipment in the amount of $8, 994 .
