Mike Ulrich, Public Works Supervisor, handed out a Staff Report <br />regarding the Award of Jet-Rodder Bids. Ulrich stated that bids <br />were taken on Monday, January 25, 1993 at 11:00 a.m. There were <br />two bidders. Ulrich stated that, of the two bids, one bid <br />did not meet specifications. <br />ABM bid a total of $192,138 including an optional in-cab remote <br />operating pendant. Sales tax on the vehicle is $12,497 and a trade- <br />in value for the current unit was quoted at $32,000. Ulrich explained <br />that the budgeted amount of $199,989 will not cover the total cost of <br />the unit with necessary lights and radio (to be installed later). <br />Considering the trade-in value, the additional amount necessary is <br />$10,'729. Ulrich further explained that this unit is also used to <br />clean storm sewers, therefore, staff recommends that the additional <br />funds necessary be appropriated from the Storm Water Management Fund. <br />Councilmember Rickaby asked about the fund balance of the Storm Water <br />Management Fund. <br />Ric Minetor responded that the fund held in excess of $350,000 at <br />this time. <br />Mayor Linke clarified that if the trade-in value received was <br />more than $32,000, any amount over that would be reimbursed to the <br />Storm Water Management Fund. Mayor Linke clarified that the amount <br />of the expenditure, for the jet rodder is $192,138 plus tax for a total <br />of $207,627. The additional amount needed is approximately $11,000 to <br />be taken from the Storm Water Management Fund. <br />Councilmember Blanchard stated that the bid is straight forward, but <br />this information was received at the last minute and the equipment <br />costs a lot of money, therefore, Councilmember Blanchard moved to table <br />this item for further discussion at the February 1 Work Session and <br />action at the February 8 Council Meeting. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Blanchard/Rickaby to Table the Bid Award for the Jet <br />Rodder for discussion at the February 1, 1993 Council Work Session. <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />PUBLIC HEARINGS: (CONTINUED) <br />b.
