Item No: 07H <br />Meeting Date: May 29,2012 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7855 Approving the Purchase of Air Compressor <br /> <br />Background/Discussion: <br /> <br />The Public Works Department has many responsibilities which include irrigation and crack filling. <br />Irrigation lines are blown out each fall with the use of an air compressor. The streets, parking lots <br />and trails are cracked filled, using a liquid sealer placed in the open cracks that must first be cleaned <br />and this is performed with the use of high pressured air from an air compressor. These tasks, along <br />with many others, are performed using a large air compressor. The air compressor currently used by <br />Public Works was purchased used in 1980. Parts and components have majorly worn out and it is <br />not cost effective to repair any longer. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff has received a quote off the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture contract for a <br />Doosan C185JD air compressor for $13,584.00. Necessary operational options for this air <br />compressor are: <br /> <br />• 7 prong berg connector $66.00 <br />• AM-7 ¾” Lehigh fitting $13.00 <br />• 100’ 3/4 “ electric rewind hose reel $507.00 <br />• Install hose reel sideways plumb from rear $786.00 <br />• Furnish 4 prong berg plug and socket $25.00 <br />• Bulldog jack mounting plate $8.00 <br />• Hose 100’ $138.00 <br />• OSHA Valves $59.00 <br /> <br /> Total $15,186.00 <br /> <br />Tax $1,044.04 <br /> <br />Total cost of unit $16,230.04 <br /> Less trade in of old unit $2,500.00 <br /> Total cost $13,730.04 <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the purchase of a new Doosan C185JD air compressor to include installation and <br />assembly of the necessary operational for a cost including tax of $13,730.04 from the State <br />Contract. Staff is also recommending a 5% contingency for any unforeseen incidentals that may <br />occur not to exceed in the amount of $686.50. $15,000.00 is currently budgeted in Vehicle and <br />Equipment Fund of 460-4160-7030. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peteson <br />Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor <br />
