<br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />February 11, 2000 <br /> <br />------------ - <br /> <br />------ -- <br /> <br />--------- --- <br /> <br />---------- -- -- --_..-.- - ---- <br /> <br />--- ----------- <br /> <br />------------- <br /> <br />TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director 'V) <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Public Works BackhoefPickUP purchase <br /> <br />Backl!round <br />The Public Works Department has budgeted for the replacement of two (2) pieces of <br />equipment in the year 2000. These are the 1991 Chevy Y2 ton pickuP and the 1987 Case <br />tractor backhoe. <br /> <br />The 1991 pickup is one of two (2) pickups in the Public Works fleet and is used daily by the <br />Public Works employees. The Public Works Department budgeted $22,000 for replacement <br />of this vehicle, which currently has 90,000 miles on it. The second pickup is primarily used <br />by the Public Works foreman. <br /> <br />The 1987 Case tractor backhoe was purchased, used, by the City in 1991. This is the <br />machine the City uses for sewer and water repair excavating, as well as loading salt and sand. <br />Between the loader bucket on the front and the backhoe bucket, this machine is probably the <br />most important machine in the fleet. The public Works Department budgeted $90,000 for <br />the replacement of this machine. <br /> <br />Minnesota Coo erative purchasin Venture CP <br />The City of Arden Hills pays $350 annually to maintain membership in the State Cooperative <br />purchasing Venture. This allowS the City to use State specifications and bid prices, resulting <br />in Arden Hills paying the same amount for a single piece of equipment as the State does for <br />numerous pieces. The State has employees who are dedicated to researching equipment, <br />preparing specifications and requesting bids for everything from office supplies to heavy <br />equipment. The discount is such, that a City buying a new piece of equipment off the State <br />bid (CPV), will typically pay less than buying a slightly used piece of equipment which was <br />not purchased off the State bid. Only Minnesota counties and cities are eligible for <br />membership in the cooperative purchasing venture. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br />
