MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Knackstedt and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Lee Frey, Public Works Director
DATE: October 28, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-66 - Authorizing the Use of the Equipment
Replacement Fund for the Purchase of a New Trackless MT7 with Snow
Blower Attachment.
This memo requests Council's approval to contract with Yukon Equipment, Inc. for the purchase
of a new Trackless MT7 with snow blower attachment utilizing the Equipment Replacement Fund.
This new unit would replace and existing 2009 Trackless MT6 unit that is scheduled for
replacement. The MT7 model is the current replacement for the MT6 from the manufacturer. The
City owns an additional Trackless unit for snow clearing operations and purchasing this unit would
maintain fleet standardization and utilization of existing attachments for the equipment.
KMC 7.15.070 (4) allows the City to purchase equipment under the contract of another
governmental agency. The pricing received for this equipment is Sourcewell pricing that meets
this requirement. In addition, the pricing was compared to government contract pricing available
from the State of Minnesota Fleet contract and the Sourcewell pricing is a lower cost.
The Public Works Department recommends purchase of a Trackless MT7 unit with snow blower
attachment from Yukon Equipment, Inc.in the amount of $202,920.48.
Award of this agreement is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully
requested.
