The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br /> <br /> <br />Item No: 8B <br />Meeting Date: July 13, 2020 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9291, Authorize Repairs to Unit #723 – CAT <br />Backhoe <br /> <br />Background / Discussion: <br />During the 2019 budget process, Public Works Staff evaluated the condition of unit #723, <br />a CAT Backhoe. The unit was scheduled to be replaced in 2020. The backhoe is primarily <br />used for utility repair work IE. water main breaks, storm sewer repairs. Staff determined <br />the Backhoe is in good to great condition and doesn’t need replacement in 2020, but the <br />life of the unit can be extended with a minor overhaul (ware points, pins and hoses). The <br />replacement date of the unit would be evaluated in 5 years with the goal of not replacing <br />it for another 10 years. <br /> <br />Staff received a quote from Ziegler Cat for the estimated needed repair work for <br />$12,205.00. <br /> <br />Repairs are budgeted in the Water Fund, 700-4823-5130, which includes $12,000.00 for <br />this backhoe overhaul. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: No Impact to the 2020 Budget as repairs are budgeted in the Water <br />Fund, account 700-4823-5130, this overhaul. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that Council approve the quote from Zeigler CAT of Minneapolis, MN <br />for $12,205.00, from the Water Fund, account 700-4823-5130. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Don Peterson – Public Works Director
