CONSENT ITEM 1C <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: February 18, 2014 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Terry Maurer, Public Works Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: 2014 CIP Equipment Purchases <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br /> <br />There are three of the equipment purchases in the approved 2014 CIP we would like to talk to the <br />Council briefly about. They are Replace 1997 Dump Truck w/Plow/Wing/Sander, Replace 1996 <br />Roller and Replace 2002 Groundmaster with Snow Blower. The issues we would like to discuss <br />are as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />1.Replace 1997 Dump Truck w/Plow/Wing/Sander <br />The 2014 CIP has $160,000 anticipating the purchase of a new vehicle. However, <br />the monies budgeted are significantly short of the approximately $200,000 needed <br />for a new vehicle. Ramsey County has a 2011 International single axel plow <br />truck that has 13,000 miles on it that they are planning to trade in this spring. The <br />value of the truck has been determined to be $128,250 (Joe Mooney has verified <br />this value with an International dealer). To this amount there would be a cost of <br />$5,000-6,000 to have the vehicle painted white as we did with the last truck we <br />purchased from Ramsey County. The $160,000 budgeted includes an estimated <br />$20,000 auction value for our 1997 truck which we would send to auction later in <br />the summer/early fall in an effort to maximize its value. <br /> <br /> <br />2.Replace 1996 Roller <br />There is $10,000 in the 2014 CIP for the replacement of the 1996 Roller. As we <br />discussed at the January Work Session, the Public Works crew has started to do <br />more paving of streets as a maintenance technique. With these paving activities it <br />would be good to have a large roller (the current roller was used primarily for <br />12 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
