The current pricing on these attachments is $9,964.60, including sales tax. Staff is recommending these be purchased early in 2011. Staff attached a photo of the vehicle. Vehicle Sale Staff anticipates that the John Deere Tractor will sell within a range of $7,000-$9,000. Staff recommends that the City hold off selling the tractor until the spring 2011 session of the State Surplus Auction or MidAmerica Auction. The new Toolcat machine will be utilized to clear sidewalks and trails. The John Deere tractor was utilized for removing large amounts of snow on the rinks. Staff would like to utilize the John Deere Tractor for one more winter because the Toolcat will be clearing trails and not available to do snow removal on rinks at the same time. The recently constructed Elmer L. Andersen connection trails have a high priority on plowing due to the grant requirements. Staff has placed replacement of the Skid Steer Vehicle in the 2011 CIP and the new machine proposed would be able to be utilized for rink clearing and therefore, replace the John Deere Tractor winter functions. There is a service charge for participating in the state or MidAmerica auction. The revenue from the sale of the tractor will be placed in the Equipment Replacement Fund. Action Req uested - Staff recommends a motion to authorize the purchase of a new 2010 Bobcat 5600 Turbo Toolcat, including a winter accessory package in an amount not to exceed $52,297.93. \�Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\PR&PW\Parks\Memos\Council Memos�06282010 Toolcat CIP Purchase.D�C
