• Aerating <br />• Fertilizing <br />• Seeding <br />• Leveling (i.e. Ball fields, Walkways and Boulevard Repairs) <br /> <br />Staff recommends that we trade in our 1990 Ford 4630 tractor and broom <br />attachment for the purchase of a AEBI Terratac TT70S also with a broom <br />attachment. <br /> <br /> In January of 2003, the City purchased a similar AEBI Terratac Tractor, <br />therefore all attachments and implements currently owned by the City will fit <br />directly on this AEBI Tractor and will enable the Staff to use both machines on <br />different tasks. (Example: One with a blower and the other with the broom). <br /> <br />Staff has contacted other municipalities and organizations to discuss their use <br />and satisfaction of this tractor. The City of Maple Grove, The City of St. Paul <br />(Parks), the Garrison Diversion in North Dakota and the American Ski <br />Corporation in Maine have all given this equipment a very good recommendation. <br /> <br />This tractor would be purchased under state contract and thus forego the <br />requirement to acquire additional bids. The state contract bid is as follows: <br /> <br />• Base Price $ 67,719.00 <br />• Sweeper $ 3,255.00 <br />• Total Machine Price $ 70,974.00 <br />• Trade In $-11,500.00 <br />• Total Price $ 59,474.00 <br />• Sales Tax (6.5%) $ 3,865.81 <br />• Total Price $ 63,339.81 <br /> <br /> <br />The Parks Budget, 100-4360-7030 has $70,000.00 budgeted for a tractor <br />purchase. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of an AEBI <br />Terratrac TT70S Tractor along with the aforementioned accessory (72” sweeper <br />attachment – 32” diameter) under state contract in the amount of $70,974.00 and <br />approve the trade in of the 1990 Ford 4630 Tractor at a credited value of <br />11,500.00. Including tax, this represents a net City cost of 63,339.81. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br />
