Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />Portable Message Board <br />(Attachment A) The trailer mounted message board is to replace the existing truck mounted <br />message board on vehicle Unit 210. A trailer mounted unit would be more versatile, allowing <br />placement of the message board within work zones or along roadways without removing a <br />vehicle from use as occurs with a truck mounted message board. The presented message board <br />also has radar and data collection features for speed and traffic counts. <br />Portable Light Tower <br />(Attachment B) Public Works staff is currently working in dark conditions loading and <br />unloading trucks during after hour emergencies. The generator powered towable light tower <br />would also be used on job sights when needed. The equipment follows OSHA safe work space <br />compliance. <br />Trade-in Program Toro “Z” Mowers (Units 458 & 459) <br />(Attachment C) Units 458 & 459 trade-in value of the Toro "Z" mowers is maximized if they are <br />traded in with warranty still remaining. Due to the amount of time these pieces of equipment are <br />used during the summer months, they are traded in on a three-year cycle. These units will be <br />replaced with similar machines Groundsmaster 7210 “Z” mowers. <br />Replace 1997 Toro Groundsmaster (Unit 409) <br />(Attachment D) Unit 409 is used for trail and off-road mowing, including climbing steep hills. <br />This machine is 4WD, has 2929 hours of operation, and replacement parts are becoming more <br />difficult to find with the equipment being 24 years old. Staff recommends replacement of Unit <br />409 with a Rough-Cut Off-Road Machine Altoz TRX 766i. Staff recommends sending the 1997 <br />Toro Groundsmaster to auction. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br />The Capital Improvement Program for equipment purchases was restructured in 2020 to allow <br />for early replacement of the snow plow Unit 120 which ultimately got carried over to 2021 due <br />to COVID.
