purchased in 2015, which will then be outfitted with a dump box, front plow, wing plow, salt spreader, and other accessories. All items are on the Minnesota State Purchasing Contract and the anticipated price for the chassis and all equipment is around $190,000. It is anticipated that the 2006 dump truck will sell for around $40,000. Small Equipment: •Generator ($10,000): The 2000 Caterpillar 200 kW generator is scheduled for major maintenance after 20 years. Staff had its generator maintenance vendor look at it, and an estimate of $10,000 was provided for the work necessary. The generator is not used very much and should have plenty of life left in it. The cost of a new one would be more than $50,000 so it makes sense to give it a major overhaul and keep it in service. •Plate Packer ($2,500): The 2000 Mikasa plate packer is scheduled to be replaced. The packer is used for small asphalt patches as well as for packing gravel and backfilled areas. The anticipated cost is $2500. •Lely Fertilizer Spreader ($5,000): The 2005 spreader is scheduled to be replaced. The spreader is used for fertilizing city-maintained grass areas. The anticipated cost is $5,000. •Scissor Lift: The new Public Works shop has tall ceilings and there are many light bulbs and lots of HVAC equipment located at the ceiling level or higher. Staff is proposing to purchase a used scissor lift that will enable one or two workers to safely reach all of the equipment up near the ceiling. The anticipated price of a used scissor lift is $6,000. Future Equipment Purchases: Moving forward, the Public works Department will continue to follow its schedule for replacing trucks and equipment. There are two pickup trucks and a Toolcat scheduled for 2021, a pickup and skid-steer in 2022, a pickup, Toolcat, air compressor, and wood chipper scheduled for 2023, and a pickup and potentially a loader/backhoe in 2024. There are small equipment purchases scheduled for each of those years as well. Street Projects (25-26) Street projects to be completed in 2020 include Greenbrier Street from Labore to County Road D. Ramsey County agreed to partner with the City to improve County Road D from Payne Avenue to Greenbrier Street in 2020. A storm sewer pipe will be extended to Greenbrier, which allows Greenbrier to be reconstructed in 2020. The City will improve County Road D to the typical section decided on by the County and will be reimbursed by the County. The City may incur some costs as part of this work, but staff does not anticipate these to be very high. Since no street improvement projects were completed in 2019, it was determined that another project could be added in 2020. Due to the nature of the repair and proximity to the Greenbrier project, staff is recommending that Allen Avenue (from Centerville to Edgerton Street) be added to the 2020 schedule. A full-depth reclamation and re-paving is proposed for the entire stretch of road along with the typical curb and gutter replacement and utility repairs as needed. Bolton and Menk is working on the plans and specifications for the Little Canada Road paver/sidewalk project. The project will be bid in the winter and the work window will span from May through mid-July so that it is ready for Canadian Days next year. A map of the street projects for the next 5 years is included on Page 26. 6
