AGENDA NO. 6.l.
ATTACHMENTS: 2020 Equipment Purchase Recommendation
Report APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Declare Surplus Property and Authorize the
Purchase of Equipment as outlined the 2020 Equipment Purchase Recommendation
Report
ISSUE
Staff is seeking City Council authorization to purchase equipment as outlined in the 2020 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP), 2020 operating budgets, and the 2020 Equipment Purchase
Recommendation Report (the Report).
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the adopted guidelines for equipment replacement as outlined in the Public Works
Quality Standards, staff has developed a list of equipment proposed for replacement in 2020. This list
represents equipment with a score of 21+ as described in the Equipment Evaluation Matrix (Matrix),
which is shown in Appendix A of the Report. The Matrix was developed with Council input and initially
adopted in 2012. The goal was to establish a data-driven, objective formula for determining when
equipment should be considered for replacement. Each unit is assigned an overall score based on the
parameters of age, mileage, condition, service type, criticality, maintenance cost and reliability. Equipment
with a score of 21 or greater is generally scheduled for replacement.
The attached Report provides detailed information about the units that are proposed to be replaced in
2020, as well as information about four new pieces of equipment that are included in the 2020 CIP. Page
two of the Report shows the existing equipment that is proposed to be declared surplus property and
replaced as recommended in the Report. Surplus property will be disposed of through dealer trade or
auction to maximize the salvage value. All replacement units will be purchased from State Contract
vendors.
The total anticipated net cost for the equipment purchases is $295,674 which is 40% less than the net cost
of $497,000 approved in the 2020 CIP. The primary savings comes from deferring the purchase of the
street sweeper for one year.
As a reminder, all light-duty trucks, vans and SUVs are now leased in accordance with the Council-
approved leasing plan. Those vehicles are not shown in the Report, but they are included in the 2020 CIP.
The vehicles planned for replacement via lease in 2020 are:
2
• 2015 1-ton pickup for servicing irrigation facilities (Public Works)
• 2015 1-ton pickup with arrow/sign board (Public Works)
• 2015 ½-ton pickup (Engineering)
• 2015 ½-ton pickup (Facilities)
• 2016 1-ton pickup with dump box (Public Works)
• 2016 1-ton pickup (Public Works)
• NEW 1-ton pickup (Public Works)
• NEW ½-ton pickup (Public Works)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting City Council authorization to declare the existing equipment as surplus property, and to
purchase replacement units as outlined in the attached 2020 Equipment Purchase Recommendation
Report.

2007 STREET SWEEPER (8443)
DESCRIPTION
• 2,225 hours
• Purchase cost: $144,197
• Estimated Replacement Price: $0

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
• Keep this unit for another year and replace in 2021. This unit is used less than 200
hours per year. There are no major mechanical issues and no major maintenance is
needed at this time. Staff believes we can put another 200-300 hours on this
machine, and still maintain a reasonable salvage value in 2021.

ENCLOSED TRAILER FOR UTILITY
PUMP EQUIPMENT
DESCRIPTION
• CIP Approved Amount: $12,000
• Quoted Purchase Price: $10,804
USED FOR
• Secure storage and hauling of parts and
accessories for the utility pumps, including
longer rigid hoses that don’t fit on existing
trailers
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

• Funding from Storm Utility Fund

PLOW FOR LARGE TRACTOR (8409)
DESCRIPTION
• CIP Approved Amount: $15,000
• Estimated Purchase Price: $15,000 - $18,000
USED FOR
• Plowing high-priority parking lots (Police, City Hall/Public Works, and the Park &
Ride on TH3) as well as hockey rinks and Bloomfield Park lot. We have been using
an old dump truck plow on this unit. That plow is severely rusted and the plow
edges need to be welded frequently.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
• Purchase new front plow for estimated cost of $15,000 - $18,000. Staff is still
determining the best option for replacement, so no firm quotes have been
established yet. We anticipated staying under $18,000, hopefully closer to the
$15,000 approved amount.
• Funding from Equipment CIP

SIDE AND REAR FLAIL MOWERS
FOR LARGE TRACTOR (8409)
DESCRIPTION
• CIP Approved Amount: $35,000
• Quoted Replacement Price: $39,155
• Quoted Trade Value: $12,500
USED FOR
• Ditch mowing. Current flail mower
does not work well because the boom arm doesn’t float along the surface, causing
uneven mowing and scalping. The new mowers will take one day to attach and set
up, while the current boom arm takes nearly a week. Existing rear mower can be
used on smaller tractors.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
• Purchase new side and rear flail mowers for estimated net cost of $26,655 after
$12,500 trade of existing boom mower
• Keep existing rear mower to use on smaller tractors in areas where the larger
tractor is too big/heavy
• Funding from Equipment CIP

ASPHALT TRAILER
DESCRIPTION
• CIP Approved Amount: $35,000
• Quoted Purchase Price: $36,932
USED FOR
• Pothole patching. This unit keeps
asphalt hot during patching
operations, resulting in better quality
patching, less waste of cold asphalt,
and greater efficiency by hauling larger quantities than we are currently able to haul
and keep hot. Unit is pulled behind a 1-ton pickup truck.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
• Purchase new asphalt trailer for $36,932
• Funding from Equipment CIP

ATHLETIC FIELD PAINTER
DESCRIPTION
• CIP Approved Amount: $40,000
• Estimated Purchase Price: $38,542.10
• Annual service fee of $2,325 after the first year,
which covers the GPS network, data for the
tablet, and software updates
USED FOR
• Athletic field painting. This driverless machine will help keep up with the demand
of adding four new fields at the Flint Hills athletic complex. It can be programmed
to lay out and paint the fields more accurately and efficiently, and at a lower cost
than our current practice. On a standard full-size field, we will cut our staff hours
by nearly 90% every time a new field is laid out (10 hours vs. under 1 hour), and
consume about 60% less paint overall. Since the paint is more expensive, the
overall cost of paint is roughly the same, but the new paint is VOC-free and more
environmentally friendly.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
• Purchase new athletic field painter for estimated cost of $38,542.10, plus annual
service fee of $2,325
• Funding from Equipment CIP
