<br /> <br /> <br />Capital Improvement Project <br />2024 through 2028 <br />PROJECT # CW-334 <br />PROJECT NAME: Tire Changer and Wheel Balancer <br />Project Year: 2024 <br />Department: Fleet <br />Program: Citywide <br />Project Type: Machinery and Shop Equipment <br />Useful Life (Years): 20 <br />Contact Person: Public Services Director <br /> <br />Project Description: <br />Tire changer and wheel balancer to accommodate the larger size tires and the changing fleet. <br />Project Justification: <br />In May of 2006 the city purchased a wheel and tire balancer to suit the needs of the pickups and squad cars in the fleet. <br />At the time the tire and balancer machine suited the needs based on the city owned equipment. Since then, the fleet has <br />grown and the size of the trucks has increase making the tire machine obsolete for about a quarter of the fleet. The <br />result is having to organize and deliver the tires and rims to a local shop for mounting and balancing. The proposed tire <br />changer and wheel balancer will not only be able to accommodate all of the current vehicles in the fleet but additionally is <br />able to do specialty tires such as tractors and lawn mowers. <br />The ability to change and balance tires in house represents a cost and time savings. Relying on another shop to get core <br />vehicles and equipment back on the road is not ideal. The cost for a tire change and balance on some of the vehicle can <br />be as much as $100 per a tire and take up to an hour and a half per instance to use an outside shop. <br /> <br /> <br />Funding Sources FY2024 FY2025 FY2026 FY2027 FY2028 Total <br />Capital Equipment Revolving Fund (402) $23,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $23,000 <br />Total $23,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $23,000 <br />Expenditures FY2024 FY2025 FY2026 FY2027 FY2028 Total <br />Capital Equipment $23,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $23,000 <br />Total $23,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 $23,000 <br />68
