. MEMO TO: Mounds View Citv Council <br />FROM: Hrncc K. Ando <br />Parks, Recrr;a <br />DATE: December 1, 1 <br />RE: Tractor Sdocifications <br />Enclosed are bid specifications that staff has developed for the <br />purchase of the 1984 tractor to replace the City's 1963 <br />International. As you are aware, the City Council has allocated <br />$16,500 for the purchase of a new tractor and staff has developed <br />specifications that we feel meet our current City needs. <br />In addition to purchasing a diesel tractor, staff has listed six <br />potential options which will be evaluated and reviewed on an <br />individual basis. Staf.f's initial recommendation would be that a <br />rotary mowing deck and front end loader/bucket are two required <br />attachments with the broom and sickle/bar mower as possible <br />purchases. <br />In addition to soliciting bids for a new tractor, staff has also <br />been actively pursuing the used market to determine if there is a <br />used vehicle that can meet the City's needs, when staff reviews <br />the bid proposals for the new unit, we will also be providing a <br />staff report which outlines the used market so the City Council <br />can review both aspects prior to awarding the contract. <br />AS ran ha nntnei i.^. t!:e bid <br />trade in the 1963 International which is in poor working <br />condition and currently in need of a great deal of repair. <br />Should you have any questions regarding the attached hid <br />specifications, feel free to contact myself directly at 784-3055, <br />ext. 41. <br />RECOMMENDATION To direct staff to set a bid opening date for <br />Wednesday, December 21, 1983 at 10:30 a.m, for the purchase of <br />one 1984 tractor with attachments. <br />BKA/sll <br />Enclosure <br />
