Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the purchase of a replacement Zamboni.
Background/Discussion
The Elk River Ice Arena’s 2015-19 Capital Improvement Plan anticipated funding for the replacement of
the 1999 Zamboni in 2016.
Doug Peters, the Zamboni Company’s area representative, has indicated that orders are 8-9 months out,
which would place the delivery date of the machine in January or February of next year if ordered in May.
Ice Arena staff is seeking approval to purchase the machine now with delivery expected in 2016.
The Zamboni would be purchased through The National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a national joint
purchasing program that negotiates very competitive pricing.
The 1999 Zamboni has served us well, however it has shown signs of wear in key components including
the main drive motor, bearings for the conditioner, and the battery set, which are typically replaced every
four to five years.
Once we receive the delivery confirmation date of the new machine, the 1999 Zamboni will be placed on
Govdeals.com with an expected minimum bid of $30,000. Staff feels the trade-in value offered by the
Zamboni Company is not as good as we expect in the competitive bid market.
Financial Impact
The projected 2016 replacement cost in the 2016 CIP was for $120,000. The purchase price of
$127,834.60 less the expected re-sale value of the 1999 machine is significantly below the budgeted
amount. Funding is available in the Ice Arena Special Revenue Fund.

100 cubic feet (actual volume)
120 cubic feet (compacted)
•
Ice Making Water Tank
Constructed of High Density Polyethylene
200 U.S. gallons
Wash Water Tank (optional)
Constructed of High Density Polyethylene
82 U.S. gallons
Total Water Capacity
282 U.S. gallons
ELECTRONIC
CONTROLS: Sevcon “Power Pak” MOSFET Controls
•
The 552 utilizes state-of-the-art Sevcon
MOSFET (solid state) controls for both the
vehicle traction drive and the accessory
functions.
•
The Sevcon controls offer the latest in
electronics technology and provide exact
optimized control to achieve outstanding
operability. These controls have been
proven throughout the world in demanding
applications such as forklifts and airport
equipment.
Proposal Page 1
ELECTRONIC
CONTROLS: •
The solid state MOSFET controls provide for
infinitely variable traction speeds in forward and
reverse, as well as optimum control of the
accessory pump operation
Fully Programmable Features
-controlled acceleration.
-accessory pump speeds affecting conditioner/snow
tank lift and auger speeds.
-compensation for different battery packages.
“On-Board” Diagnostic Features
-operator faults, such as starting in gear or parking
brake on.
-faults due to component failure.
-hydraulic filter replacement.
-electric motor brush-wear sensors.
-motor temperature warning.
Sevcon Dash Display
•
The Sevcon dash display acts as “window access”
into the heart of the electric controls.
-full diagnostics with alphanumeric display
including stored fault codes.
-battery discharge indicator and motor hourmeters.
ELECTRIC
MOTORS: •
General Electric 17.5 HP traction drive motor with
brush wear sensors.
•
Baldor 8 HP accessory motor with temperature and
brush wear sensors. Designed in motor “step-up”
to maximize the usage and efficiency of the battery
power.
BATTERY &
CHARGER: •
510 Amp Hour heavy-duty industrial type lead acid
batteries. Heavy-duty features include a tabular
solid plate design and heat bonded jar.
•
“Intelligent” charger is microprocessor controlled to
provide the best charging sequence in all
conditions.
DRIVETRAIN:Dana/Spicer Axles
•
Front - Model 60, rated 6,400 lb. capacity.
•
Rear - Model 60, rated 6,200 lb. capacity and is
a rigid, full-float design.
•
Because the 552 uses Spicer/Dana axles that are
optimized for our chassis, we offer the industry's
highest manufacturer approved axle capacities.
Proposal Page 2
DRIVETRAIN: •
Our chassis/axle combination is the key to the
Zamboni 552 having a turning radius of 16 feet, a
full 3 feet tighter than most other machines.
Hub City Transfer Case
•
Rugged cast iron housing for rigid gear and bearing
support. Heat-treated alloy steel gears are helical
cut for greater strength and lower noise.
•
Traction drive motor is directly-mounted to the
housing for long shaft life.
Chassis
•
2" X 5" structural steel tubing for high strength and
long service.
HYDRAULICS:Danfoss Pump and Motor
•
Gear-type for high efficiency, flow and speed. This
design has been proven in many rugged
applications and helps to continue Zamboni’s
reputation for the best conveyor performance in the
industry.
Charlyn Steering Pump
•
The use of a hydraulic steering system provides
very smooth power steering with little effort.
Filtration and Tank
•
Parker 10 micron hydraulic filter ensures a clean
environment for all hydraulic components.
•
Large 21 gallon tank enhances hydraulic fluid travel
to rid the oil of entrapped air and increase heat
dissipation.
SNOW TANK
AND AUGERS: •
Large snow capacity and tank design provides all
areas of the snow tank to be completely filled, even
the top and rear corners.
•
Both 10 inch large diameter augers are double-
flighted to ensure good performance even during
heavy shaving and the augers are powder coated
for durability.
CONDITIONER:•
Zamboni Ice Resurfacers have a well-deserved
reputation for producing the finest sheet of ice,
even after many years of being in use.
•
A unique design of spring and hydraulic down
pressure is used for superior shaving results.
•
Performance will continue for the life of the
machine by using replaceable bushings and
springs.
Proposal Page 3
HUMAN
ENGINEERING:•
The operation of the 552 is very simple. The
operator selects the travel direction, then drives the
machine with a foot control. Because the
conveyors are independent of vehicle speed, the
552 provides full power and speed to the augers at
all times, even when slowing for corners.
•
Speed is controlled by a single foot pedal. A solid-
state electronic actuator provides smooth and
responsive acceleration.
•
Operator compartment has an ergonomic layout
and includes a modern steering wheel with spinner
knob.
•
The Mosfet electronic controls, while securely
locked to inhibit unauthorized entry, are
conveniently located should service be necessary.
The battery is easily accessed through both side
doors for routine maintenance checks, even with
the snow tank down.
•
Wiring and looms are well routed and protected.
FACILITY
ENGINEERING:
• Zamboni Ice Resurfacers offer unparalleled shaving
and snow conveyor performance. A quality sheet
of ice is among an arena's primary selling features.
•
Zamboni has the tightest turning radius in the
industry, enabling operators to resurface deeper
into their corners.
•
The snow tank on the 552 is designed with a flat
bottom and sides, allowing for the snow to slide out
with the least amount of residue and at a much
lower height. This is important for both dumping
indoors as well as outdoors in adverse conditions.
•
Polyethylene ice-making water tank is standard.
This tank is completely rust free and has a 8” quick
access cover for inspection and clean-out.
