MEMORANDUM <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Date: March 27, 1987 <br /> To: Arden Hills Council <br /> From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor <br /> Re: Purchase of Jetter Truck <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Funds for replacement of the jetter truck were included in the 1986 <br /> budget. As you know, the Council elected to defer this purchase. <br /> The jetter was again budgeted for in 1987, with $33,000 of the total <br /> purchase price to be paid in 1987, and $30,000 in 1988. <br /> Even though the jetter truck is in good shape, it is 17 years old. It is <br /> a much needed piece of equipment, and must be reliable since it is often <br /> used in an emergency when time is most important. <br /> The Council has directed development of a Five Year Capital Improvement <br /> Program to ensure an even distribution over the years of large capital <br /> outlay expenditures. <br /> . I am recommending at this time that we follow this Five Year Capital <br /> Improvement Plan and advertise for bids on a new jetter truck at this <br /> time. We would be looking at a delivery time of sometime early in 1988. <br /> Specifications will be the same as those prepared for last year's proposed <br /> purchase. <br /> . <br />
