� The Replace 1997 Dunnp Truck with plow/wi�g/sander has been moved from 2015 to 2013. Again, this is proposed due to the critical nature of having reliable snow removal/de-icing equipment in the City fleet. � The 1998 Dump Truck is proposed to be replaeec� before the 1997 Dump Truck. because of the recent major investment in repairs to the 1997 Dump Truck. • Purchase of a used Dunnp Truck with plowlwi�g/sander from Ramsey CoUnty has been added to 20l 1 with replacement af that vehicle wi�h ar�ather used truck from Ramsey County shown in 20 i 5. • T�e Taro Groundnr�aster which was origi�a3ly shown to be replaced in 2412 has been r�oved to 2411 and it is praposed to be replaced wit� two "zero-t�rn" rnowers instead of another Grounc�master. Tl�e three Groundmasters in our fleet are used for summer mowing and winter snow removal activities. B}� rep�acing one of these with two "zero-tui-��' mowers (at a lower cost than purchasing a new Groundmaster} it wil} allow the remaining two Groundmasters to be used less an the sum�ner thus extending their life for winter use. • Replacement of the 1997 Street Sweeper, which �s in reasonably good co�dition and typically used for non-emergency street sweeping, has been inoved from 2013 to 2015. • Replacement af the 2000 Backhoe, which is Used often for emer�encies wit� water main breaks, has been moved from 2415 to 2013. The estiinated cost for replacemEnt af the 20Q0 Backhoe I�as been increased to include two attach�nents which will Iawez- costs and increase e��ciency. One attachr�aent is a Rapid Ram used for breaking frost which we eurrently do not have so the City has to contraci for this service at a cost of $3,000-$4,000 per occLirrence. The seco�d attachmeni is a Plate Co�npactor that will help our crew compact these excavations. CurrentIy, compaction is completed with the backhae b�cket. • The Replace .� Type Tamper sched�led in 2012 has been dropped from the Equipment CIP because its act�al replacement cost is under the $5,000 threshold foF inclusion. At �he appropriate ti�ne, replacement of this equipment wiI] be ineluded in a future operating budget. � The Replace Turf Sweeper far $18,000 ori�inalIy schedUled for 20l 3 has been pUshed back out of the 201 I-2015 timeframe because that piece of equipment is seldorn �sed so its conditian will serve the City's need for some time. The Repiace 1993 Taro Turf Aeratar for $]0,000 originally scheduled in 2015 has been pushed back for the sarne reason. ; Federally mandated emissions cantroi will reach Tier 4 in 20I2 increasing the cost of vehic�es. This mandate affects aIl motors over 50 hp, but the larger the motar the rnore significant the increase in cos�. As staff verif ed the replace�nent costs in the CIP we were told the cost of some larger pieces of equipment may rise by as much as S-l0% • As staff prepared the propased CIP we tried to accurately ref�ect "trade-in" value for each piece af equipment so the Praject Cost in the CIP is a true ref�ection of the amount the City would expend to p�rchase the replacerr�ent ec�uipment.
