Phis unit does include an <br />oil tank for tack coat.inq and crack filling. It currently <br />lists at $18,750.00. There is a unit that currently has <br />been used for demonstration purposes that might be <br />available at a discount of up to 10 percent. <br />2. Contractors Machinery & Supply, Inc. of Eagan, Minnesota <br />has sent up material on the Bomag AR 6 mobile asphalt <br />recycler. Attached are copies of the literature furnished <br />by the supplier. This unit is manufactured by the Koehring <br />Construction Equipment Company of Dayton, Ohio. Current <br />P.O.B. factory price for the AR 6 unit is $10,975.00. <br />3. The other unit that was demonstrated in Roseville was a <br />device called the Pothole Patcher which is manufactured <br />and distributed by RGS Industries, Inc. of Joplin, Missouri. <br />Attached are illustrations of this device. This unit is <br />intended to be a one-man asphalt patch repair unit and is <br />a mechanism to keep the asphalt warm and also to operate the <br />other miscellaneous tools used in patching asphalt streets. <br />The truck mounted unit without the truck currently lists at <br />$18,950.00 and a trailer mounted unit lists at $26,950.00. <br />9. Staff was made aware on November 14, 1983, that Model <br />Stone Company located in Minneapolis had an oil sprayer unit <br />for sale for $1,800.00. Upon contacting the construction <br />company, it was determined that the unit is only for heating, <br />spraying, and crack filling of oil and does not have any <br />capacity for keeping asphalt mix warm as the devices described <br />above would allow. <br />Prior to recommending to the Council acquisition of any one of the <br />above described devices, the maintenance department had hoped to have <br />demonstrations or physically inspect the units so that we'would be <br />assured the unit would meet our needs. Both the distributors of the <br />Bomag unit and the Stepp's Manufacturing unit for recycling material <br />have offered to come out and demonstrate their equipment. Staff <br />still anticipates yet this year to do that so that a recommendation <br />can be made to the City Council for purchase of the unit in 1983. As <br />can be seen by the prices listed above, the $7,200.00 in the revenue <br />sharing account may not be sufficient to cover the cost of a unit <br />that would allow recycling of bituminous pavements. Staff is of the <br />opinion, due to repair work completed in 1983, that a significant <br />amount of the existing bituminous material in our streets is of <br />sufficient quality to allow recycling if we had the equipment to do <br />that. Recycling of the existing bituminous would greatly reduce the <br />cost of new asphalt required for street repair work. The current <br />price per ton for asphalt material is running $22.50.
