NOTE: <br />the 2025 budget does not include funds for this equipment. <br />The proposed Snowrator would offer some protection from the elements for the operator and <br />assist in a more efficient way to clear snow and ice. This machine offers a broom option and that <br />feature will significantly reduce salt use on the sidewalks. <br />Staff have conferred with the Finance Director, and an option was presented to utilize <br />a portion of the proceeds, $43,458.04, from the 2025 fall auction to fund this equipment purchase. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: Vehicle and Equipment Fund, 460-4470-7030 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the purchase of a Snowrator Mag 48" with broom and blower attachments, <br />from Crysteel of Fridley MN, a recognized vendor from the State CPV Sourcewell bid, totaling <br />$32,658.00 to include shipping, utilizing a portion of the 2025 fall auction proceeds of $43,458.04 <br />and to be funded from 460-4470-7030. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson <br />Director of Public Works / Parks and Recreation <br />The Mounds View Visio <br />A Thriving Desirable Comii........ <br />Pete Szurek <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />
