This requires the soil to be properly compacted after backfilling the <br />hole to ensure the road does not to sink causing further repairs to be made to the <br />surrounding infrastructure or private property. <br />Public Works staff has researched what kind of compactor would best fit the needs and <br />operations of the department, and has received a quote for a new Wacker-Neuson BPU <br />4045A Vibroplate Reversible Plate Compactor, from Tri-State Bobcat of Little Canada <br />MN for a total of $7,796.53 including sales tax. The plate compactor is in the 2013 <br />water department budget, account 700-4823-7030 for $10,500.00. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the purchase of a Wacker-Neuson BPU 4045A Vibroplate Reversible <br />Plate Compactor at a cost of $7,796.53 including sales tax from Tri-State Bobcat of <br />Little Canada MN. Funding for this purchase will be taken from account 700-4823-7030 <br />which has $10,500.00 budgeted. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor <br />
