i , r <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />Item No: 9C <br />Meeting Date: October 23, 2017 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Interim Public Works Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8851 Approving the Purchase of a Mobile Column <br />Hoist for the Public Works Facility <br />Background/Discussion: <br />During the design phase of the Public Works Facility (City Project No. 2017-0O2) it <br />appeared possible that the cost of the total project may exceed the budgeted amount. As <br />a result, Staff and the designer removed some features in the building construction <br />contract. These items were included in the overall project budget but would be purchased <br />outside of the contract by City Staff as a cost savings measure. One of these items is the <br />Mobile Column hoist used by the Public Works Mechanic as part of his duties of working <br />on equipment and being able to lift his equipment. <br />Staff researched different manufactures and styles of hoists and requested a quote for <br />the Rotary Lift MCH Flex 419 from Pump and Meter Service Inc. The lift is on the NJPA <br />contract which the City of Mounds View is a member. The NJPA is similar to the <br />Minnesota State Purchasing Venture Program. The New Public Works Facility has an <br />estimated budget of $66,000.00 for this purchase. <br />Staff received a quote from Pump and Meter Service of Hopkins MN for the Rotary MCH <br />Flex 419 lift with some options for operations for $53,419.93. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the approval to purchase of the MCH Flex 419 lift as quote #2017477 <br />has stated from Pump and Meter of Hopkins MN for a total of $53,419.93 from the NJPA <br />contract. Funding for the purchase from account 480-4470-7050. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson <br />Interim Public Works Director <br />
