TO: Rick Koch, City Manager
FROM: Wayne Ogle, Public Works Director
DATE: February 26, 2009
SUBJECT: Purchase of 4x4 Articulating Multipurpose Municipal Tractor with
Snow Blower & Ditch Mower Attachment
Rick,
I recommend approval of the Multi-purpose Municipal Tractor with the mower and
snow blower attachments. This will be a 'piggy-back' purchase with the State
which will be advantageous to the City.
The reason we would like to purchase this equipment at this time is because
there is a 180 day lead time for the delivery. Purchasing at this time would enable
us to use the tractor for Tate season mowing operations and then be ready for
snow blowing as winter sets in. The tractor would be equipment we can use in
all seasons with the available attachments instead of dedicated equipment which
stays in the yard during off-season.
As you know our current snow blower has had constant repair issues and has
proven unreliable for sustained snow blowing operations. We have constantly
had this blower in the shop for repairs this season which is costly and takes up a
lot of mechanic time. This tractor and the snow blower attachment would be an
excellent replacement for our current snow blower.
