<br /> /~ l~~ <br /> . <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Date: March 27, 1987 <br /> To: Arden Hills Council <br /> From: Robert W. Raddatz <br /> Re: Tractors for Parks and Public Works Department <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> I have been researching replacement of the two tractors that the City <br /> owns. I am trying to combine as much as possible into these tractors. <br /> The tractors are both in the Parks Department budget for.maintenance <br /> purposes; however, the Case is split four ways (Streets, Water, Sewer and <br /> Parks) . The Massey Ferguson is entirely in the Parks Department budget. <br /> In 1987, $40,000 is scheduled for tractor replacement, in 1988 $17,000. <br /> I would like to suggest that both tractors be ordered at the same time, <br /> since we can get a better price doing this. The dealers I have talked <br /> with say they will accept $40,000 down and the balance in January of 1988. <br /> . The tractors would compare in size with what we now have. So far I have <br /> looked at John Deere, Case and Ford. All are reputable dealers, and have <br /> parts and service available. <br /> Specifications are currently being prepared; these will be ready for the <br /> April 13 Council meeting. As with everything we order, there is some time <br /> lapse between order and delivery, approximately 120 days. <br /> The possibility of purchasing used tractors is also being explored. <br /> John Buckley concurs with my recommendations. <br /> . <br />
