W S eanaaa <br />MAYOR <br />Bill Blesener <br />COUNCIL <br />Rick Montour <br />Barbara Allan <br />John Keis <br />Michael McGraw <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson <br />www.ci.little-canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council <br />FROM: Bill Direks, Public Works Superintendent <br />DATE: June 4, 2007 <br />RE: Salt /Sand Spreader for #500 Dump Truck <br />The City purchased the #500 dump truck in 2000 with a plow, wing, and spreader. While <br />the truck, plow, and wing are still in excellent shape the sander condition has deteriorated <br />due to the corrosive nature of the salt it spreads. Seven years is longer than the average <br />life of a spreader; and the extra years can be attributed to the washing and maintenance <br />habits of our public works employees. <br />Staff is recommending the purchase of a new salt /sand spreader from Falls Equipment <br />with installation by J -Craft at the State Bid price of $6550 for the spreader and <br />installation. The spreader would be identical to the new stainless steel spreader on our <br />newest dump truck. The stainless steel model should provide extra life and easier <br />maintenance. It has worked well on our existing truck. The spreaders would be the same <br />brand and style, which simplifies maintenance and reduces parts inventory <br />
