Resolution 7801 Authorizing the Purchase of a Handheld GPS System from Frontier Precision, Inc. <br />Page 2 <br />of devices are made to be durable for field conditions (sun, rain, impact from dropping, etc.) <br />and there are municipalities that use them daily for many years without upgrading. <br /> <br />Engineering staff received a quote for $9,908.46 (plus tax) from Frontier Precision, Inc. for one <br />Trimble 6000 Series GeoXH handheld GPS system. Frontier Precision is on the State of <br />Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (State Bid) and is a Trane-certified dealer located <br />in Maple Grove. Monies have been included in the 2011 Budget for this purchase for $10,000 <br />under the water and sanitary sewer enterprise funds (700-4823-7030 & 730-4823-7030). The <br />City’s current consultant (Bonestroo) charges $80 per each use when they use this device. <br />This would equate to a payback after approximately 125 uses, which would easily be met in just <br />one to two years. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting the attached resolution approving the <br />purchase of a Trimble 6000 Series GeoXH handheld GPS system from Frontier Precision, Inc. <br />for $9,908.46 plus tax. If approved, cost would be paid for equally from the capital equipment <br />accounts of the water and sanitary sewer enterprise funds (700-4823-7030 and 730-4823- <br />7030, respectively). <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nick DeBar - Public Works Director <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />• Data Sheet for Trimble 6000 Series Handheld GPS system <br />• Resolution 7801
