Mows ViEw <br />of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No: 8D <br />Meeting Date: April 10, 2023 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9732, Authorizing the Purchase of an Automated Lift for <br />the Sanitary Sewer Inspection Camera <br />Background/Discussion: <br />One of the many responsibilities Public Works facilitates is to inspect / televise the <br />sanitary sewer mains and the storm water pipes throughout the City. At times, during <br />these inspections high water levels and/or debris force the camera under water or prevent <br />the camera from moving forward. <br />Staff located an automated lift, aka elevator, to accommodate the sewer camera. The lift <br />will raise the camera above the water or debris in order to complete the inspections. <br />Staff received a quote for an automated lift unit, from Macqueen Equipment of St. Paul, <br />MN for a total of $12,400.00. The automated lift is included in the 2023 Sanitary Sewer <br />Budget Fund, account 730-4823-7030 for $25,000.00. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: The 2023 Budget includes $25,000.00 in the Sanitary Sewer Budget, <br />730-4823-7030, for an elevator for the sewer camera. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the purchase of an automated lift from Macqueen Equipment of St. <br />Paul, MN, a Cooperative Purchasing Ventures (CPV) State Contract vendor, for a total of <br />$12,400.00 to be funded from 730-4823-7030 in which includes $25,000.00 for an <br />elevator for the sewer camera. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson, Director of Public Works / Parks and Recreation <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
