Once a tree is removed, the best management practice <br />is to grind the remaining stump as a preventative measure to keep invasive insects or <br />tree diseases from potentially spreading. <br />Staff has researched and tested various Stump Grinders that would best fit the needs and <br />operations of the department and has received a quote for a new SGX 60 Stump Grinder, <br />from Tri-State Bobcat of Little Canada MN for a total of $10,282.64 including shipping <br />charges. The Stump Grinder is in the 2024 Storm Water Budget, account 745-4415-7030 <br />for $15,000.00. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: The 2024 Budget includes $15,000.00 in the Storm Water Fund, <br />account 745-4415-7030 for a stump grinder. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the purchase of a SGX 60 Stump Grinder from Tri-State Bobcat of <br />Little Canada MN, a Cooperative Purchasing Ventures (CPV) State Contract vendor, for <br />a total of $10,282.64 including shipping from 745-4415-7030 which includes $15,000.00 <br />for a stump grinder. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson, Director of Public Works / Parks and Recreation <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
