Flatbed Truck
As planned to save money, the existing 1983 Ford Flatbed has been converted into the
new Steam Generator Truck. Bob's Services mounted the steam generator on the
chassis of the truck and painted the cab. It is old but does not have a lot of miles on it so
with this new type of use it should last a long time.
We need a new Flatbed to replace the one that was turned into a steam generator truck.
The old truck was used to pull the asphalt recycler with a load of asphalt and to pull the
crack-sealing machine. It is also used for a multitude of other uses in hauling items.
The understanding was the street crew would get a replacement flatbed when the old
one was converted. The estimated cost for a new Flatbed Truck is $50,000.
Motor Grader
Our existing 1978 Cat Motor Grader is scheduled for replacement in 2005. it was being
considered for reconditioning at a cost of $205,000. Last year the State DOT received a
bid for around 60 graders. The City of Kenai can piggy back their bid for a Cat Motor
Grader and with a few add ons (snow gate) purchase one for $269,726. The normal cost
for a base Cat Motor Grader is $330,00 compared to the DOT base bid of $202,465 so
them would be a savings of $127,535 if we could purchase one-now.
