SS &nada <br />MAYOR <br />Bill Blesener <br />COUNCIL <br />Jinn LaValle <br />Rick Montour <br />Barbara Allan <br />John Keis <br />515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766-4048 Joel R. Hanson <br />www.eLlittle-eanada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council <br />From: Bill Direks, Public Works Superintendent <br />Date: November 17, 2006 <br />Re: Tool Cat <br />The City has budgeted money in 2007 for the purchase of a Bobcat brand Tool Cat utility <br />machine. The machine will be used mainly to remove snow from sidewalks in the winter <br />and to mow boulevards in the summer. Staff also anticipates many additional uses for the <br />machine. Tri -State Bobcat in Little Canada provided a quote of $47,172.77 if the City <br />purchases the Tool Cat in 2007. The City would have to order a machine to be built and <br />would probably take ownership in February at the earliest. <br />Tri -State Bobcat has one new Tool Cat sitting on its lot that it is trying to sell. They have <br />given the City a price of $44,730.00 to purchase it and take possession immediately. The <br />price for Tool Cats for 2006 was $45,172.77. So the City would receive a slight discount <br />off of the 2006 price and an even more significant discount off of the 2007 price. <br />Because of these savings and the ability to take immediate possession, staff recommends <br />purchasing the remaining Tool Cat from Tri -State Bobcat at a price of $44,730.00. <br />
