Item No. 8C Meeting Date: March 13, 2006 Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City Administrator Review _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Tim Pittman, Public Works Supervisor Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6766 Replacement of Asphalt Cold Planer Background: In 1992, the City purchased a Dig Tec Cold Planer (AP 400 Series #2). This piece of equipment attaches to a skidloader and is used for grinding asphalt to a depth that is desired for making a patch with out disturbing the base material if so desired. Discussion: The aforementioned piece of equipment is no longer being manufactured; therefore, parts are not available. This piece of equipment has been in service for 14 years. Staff has had to make numerous repairs to keep it functional for the past few years. Staff has investigated three (3) other brands that are on the market to replace it. Staff contacted Carlson Tractor and Equipment Company; The City’s current cold asphalt planer, the Dig Tec Cold Planer (AP 400 #2), was purchased from them originally in 1992. Carlson Tractor and Equipment Company currently has two brands of asphalt cold planers available: 1.) the Alitec (Model CP18 ATD) at a price of $11,789.00; and 2.) the Coneqtec (Model AP-450111) at a price of $12,460.00. No trade-in value was offered. Tri- State Bobcat, Incorporated has the Bobcat Asphalt Cold Planer at a state bid price of $9,334.00. A $1,000.00 trade-in value was also offered for the City’s current planer. After researching the three asphalt cold planers that are available, the Bobcat Cold Planer is recommended by Staff due to pricing and because it is most compatible with the piece of equipment that is used to operate this unit. The City of Mounds View has two Bobcat skidloaders for operating this unit.
