electronic locks for the Public Works Facility - Phase 2
Background/Discussion:

These items were included in the overall project budget but would be purchased outside
the contract by City Staff as a cost savings measure. As part of the project design
electronic locks and door security systems were to be installed. Staff found as the Public
Works project proceeded this system was omitted in the overall budgeting process. Phase
1 was completed in 2018 with the plan to budget for Phase 2 in 2019. Council approved
Phase 1 at the June 11, 2018 City Council meeting, Resolution 8891.
Discussion:
Staff has received quote from Pro-Tec Design the current vendor for City Hall electronic
door locks. Pro-tech is also on the State Contract for the purchase in installation of this
system. The following is a breakdown of the estimated costs for the items:
• $21,311.54, Phase 1, includes installation of new workstation, 4 doors with
card readers, and 3 Intercom systems. Phase 1 Completed.
• $22,075.09 Phase 2 (2019) includes the expansion of 2 new boards in the
work station for 3 new card readers, installing 3 door card readers and
installing door contacts indicating when a door is open.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9063, Approving the Purchase of a John Deere
Z920M ZTrak Mower
Background/Discussion:
A responsibility of the Public Works Department includes overseeing the Building and Ground
maintenance at all City Facilities. The Parks Department mows over 138 acres of turf weekly
during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The Department uses several different mowers to
perform the necessary work, one of which is a 2006 Walker Mower.
Over the past few years the cam shaft has needed to be replaced twice along with some minor
repairs. This mower is used primarily at the Community Center and City Hall during the summer
months. The mower is also used at all City Facilities for spring clean-up and in the fall for leaf
pick up.
Discussion:
With the replacement of the cam shaft twice in the past three years, there is no way of knowing
if other damage has occurred to the engine. Staff inspected the mower and is recommending
this unit be replaced before it is used this spring and further repairs would be needed.
Staff reviewed the various mowers available on the MN Cooperative Venture Purchasing
program (CPV). Vendors were contacted and demonstrations ensued to determine the proper
equipment that best fit the needs of the City.
Staff received a quote from Minnesota Equipment, Inc. of Ham Lake, and MTI Distributing, MN
for a John Deere Z9020M ZTrak Mower with options such as mulching kits, and bagging
system. The quote for the mower is $11,510.96. The adopted 2019 budget includes $11,500.00
for replacement mowers in account 460-4360-7030.
Staff received a quote for a trade-in value of $400.00 for this unit. Staff felt this was too low and
recommends sending the unit to State Auction. The estimated trade-in value from the dealer is
$2,630.00.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending the purchase of a John Deere Z920M ZTrak mower with a bagger
system from Minnesota Equipment, Inc. of Ham Lake, MN, a vendor on the MN Cooperative
Purchasing Venture program, in the amount of $11,510.96. This purchase will be funded from
460-4360-7030, with a 2019 budget amount of $11,500.00. Staff also recommends sending the
Walker Mower to State Auction.
