<br /> . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> MDDlANOOM <br /> DM'E: .............-r 11, 1992 <br /> TO: Dorothy Person, city 1ldministrator <br /> FIlCH: Dan Winkel, Public Works SUperintendent j) I'J <br /> SUBJECT: Rsquest to Purcbase a Trailer Mounted Sanitary sewer Cl_n;.>g Redder <br /> Quotations were received and opened tcx:lay at 3:30 pm for a trailer mounted <br /> sanitary sewer redder. Notice was published in the New Brighton Bulletin <br /> soliciting quotes for the above specified equipment. Three complete set of <br /> specifications were sent out by request, with two quotes returned by the deadline <br /> at 3:30 pm, December 10, 1992. <br /> '!:he quotes received, not including sales tax, were from the following equipment <br /> supply dealers: <br /> 1. Flexible Pipe Tool Co. - For one sreco-Flexible Model HM-38'IR Robotic <br /> Redding Machine. $19,890-F.O.B. Arden Hills <br /> 2. A.B.M. Equipment & Supply-For one Sewer Equipment Company of Aloorica <br /> . Model 444 trailer lOClunted redder. $20,444-F.O.B. Arden Hills <br /> My review of the quotes received indicates that the specification check list <br /> suJ::mitted by Flexible pipe Tool Co. meets all of the minirnrnn standards listed in <br /> the specifications. '!:he checklist suhnitted by A.B.M. Equipment indicated at <br /> least three exceptions to the specifications. <br /> '!he 1992 I::A.1dget has $45,000 b.Jdgeted for a new chassis mounted redder. Further <br /> analysis of the comparison between a chassis IlI01.U1ted vs. a trailer roourrted unit <br /> indicates that a trailer mounted unit will meet our needs. '!his will also save <br /> approxiInately $23,800 for the 1992 I::A.1dget which remains in the sewer f1.IDd. <br /> Based on the fact that Flexible Pipe Tool Co. met all of the minirnrnn standards <br /> listed in the specifications, and also that Flexible pipe Tool has su1:rnitted the <br /> lowest quote, I recommend that the City purchase the trailer lOClunted sanitary <br /> sewer redder from Flexible pipe Tool Co. for the $19,890 quoted price. Sales tax <br /> of approxilnately $1,293 will also have to be added to this price. <br /> I would like Council to approve and authorize this purchase at the December 14, <br /> 1992 Council meeting. '!:he equipment will be ordered the following day with the <br /> delivery scheduled shortly after that. It should be noted that we are also <br /> trying to sell our existing redder truck as soon as is possible. <br /> DAW:rk <br /> . <br />
