Action Requested
Award the bid to the Zamboni Company for one new ice resurfacer.
Background/Discussion
Ice resurfacer bids were opened on December 17 at 10:00 am. One bid was received from the Zamboni
Company based out of Paramount California in the amount of $101,398.12. This included all the
alternates that we asked them to provide for us. After further review, the automatic snowbreaker and the
snow light tank were removed from the bid reducing the final price to $99,986.07. With tax and freight
the final price of the new ice resurfacer is $109,085.16. Staff is working with the vendor to see what the
trade in value is on the old resurfacer. Depending on what the vendor will offer us for the machine, we
may want to try to sell it on our own. I will be able to provide an update to the council at the meeting. If
approved, the machine will be delivered in October.
Financial Impact
Funding for the new resurfacer will come from liquor store funds. The amount that was budgeted for the
new resurfacer is $100,000.00. The actual amount of the bid came in about 9% higher, excluding any
trade in value. Depending on the trade in value, this amount will be lower.
