• 7:e47-iPiD AAfJJy 2 <br /> III . .. <br /> MEMO Tb : Mayor and City Council <br /> EaCM: Public Works Foreman Ulrich <br /> LATE : August 2 , 190 <br /> .-.30.,z,-01:Let . i'arenase ef Harley Leveler/hake and Post Hole Auger <br /> With the purchase of the new tractor we had originally <br /> planned to in,' ,,H,- a couple of implements used for turf <br /> preparation, maintenance, repair, and bi ,id infield <br /> reshaping. We had the experience of using a Harley leveler on <br /> Oakwood balifield and at Cliver View around the sheter. It <br /> proved to do an e:..eelient job with dirt leveling and shaping. We <br /> were asso informed the the City of Minneapolis uses it quite <br /> effeetiveiy on their crisp paths . <br /> one ether implement which would greatly enhance our <br /> installation of street posts , par ng lot posts and volleyball <br /> posts is a tfaeter mounted auger. As ehould the City decide at <br /> a future date to implement a more intensive boulevard tree <br /> program this auger could be used to plant bare 1: t trees . <br /> Currehtfy we dig all of these holes by hand, which can be very <br /> time censuming. Me costs of these two attachments could be <br /> reduced through the trade in of equipment previously declared <br /> surplus , those being the John Deere snow blower and a Danuser <br /> landscape drag. We have advertised this equipment for sale; - but <br /> we have reci-ved no bids . I have two written quotes on each piece <br /> and they are as follows : <br /> Harley Leveier/Rake <br /> Glenmac 8 , 750 . 00 <br /> t Carlson Tractor - $ 8 , 488 . 00 <br /> Power Auger <br /> Edney Dist.
