3kz� 1 <br />qT-rAo- S(255,on <br />MEMO TO: <br />Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: <br />Public Works Foreman Ulrich <br />/� Azz/ <br />DATE: <br />December 14, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: <br />PURCHASE OF SPARE TIRE AND <br />WHEEL RIM <br />FOR CAT LOADER <br />With the use of our new loader for snow plowing it is imperative <br />that we purchase a spare tire in the event of a blowout or a tire <br />being cut during the snow removal operations. If this type of <br />mishap would occur, the probable down time and emergency repair <br />call could closely offset the initial cost of this spare. Durine <br />the summer we were renting a loader from C. W. Houle Construction <br />and cut a tire during the excavation of Oakwood and Greenfield <br />Parks. This occurred around mid -morning; by the time we were <br />back in operation it was early afternoon. I would like to remind <br />you that this was during normal working hours. By purchasing a <br />spare tire, thus being prepared for an unforeseen flat tire, we <br />could in all probability be back in operation within an hour. <br />Prices are as follows: <br />1 New Wheel Rim <br />1 Rim Flange <br />i 1 Ring Lock <br />Total Wheel <br />1 20.5 x 25 Michelin Tire <br />Mounting <br />y <br />TOTAL <br />1,160.00 <br />124.00 <br />14.80 <br />$$ 1,298-0 <br />$ 1,032.81 <br />25.00 <br />Q 7,356.61 <br />I am recommending this purchase be made after January 1, 1989 and <br />to use in the Caoitol Equipment Account (1700-4121-703) for the <br />purchase of the spare wheel. <br />MU/BAC <br />A <br />
