Item #4.5.
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor & City Council
FROM:
Phil Hals, StreetlPark Superintendent
DATE:
December 20, 1999
SUBJECT: Skid Loader Purchase
Early in 1999, the City Council approved $21,000 of equipment certificate
dollars and the trade in of our 1993 Gehl skid loader for the purchase of a new
skid loader with attachments.
We demonstrated seven different machines and evaluated each individually.
Our second choice came in under budget so I would ask council permission to
purchase a set of pallet forks and a set of tracks.
. The cost breakdown is as follows:
Make & Model
Total Cost Inc. Gehl Trade-in
Snowblower & Tax Value Total Cost
Bobcat 773G $23,481.12 ($6,800.00) $16,681.12
New Holland LX665 $24,288.00 ($8,500.00) $16,814.22
New Holland LX885 $26,938.81 ($8,500.00) $18,436.51
Caterpillar 228 $34,862.34 $6,000.00) $28,862.39
I would ask the City Council to approve the purchase of the Bobcat 773G and
snowblower from Lano Equipment in Anoka at $16,681.12 including the Gehl
trade-in and applicable sales tax.
I would also ask the City Council to approve the purchase of a set of pallet
forks, extra tires, and steel tracks for a cost of $4,298.88 including sales tax.
