Once replaced, the old 2012 pickup (No. sk1111) that has 56k miles on it and will be retained by the Fire Department for internal use to replace the current holdover pickup that is used to transport hoses. This old holdover 2007 pickup (No. sk1118) has 109k miles on it, has been evaluated, is no longer needed and has been determined that the useful life has been expended and should be declared surplus inventory. Once formally declared surplus and the new pickup is in service, this pickup will be sold at auction.

The replacement of the large area rotary mower (No. sk1049) is included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (see attached CIP sheet Equip-20-464). The mower is being purchased under State of Minnesota Contract No. 150841 through MTI Distributing, Inc. The quotation form is attached and is consistent with the state contract pricing. The cost of the mower is $112,375.64.
The old 2012 mower (No. sk1049) has 3,172 hours on it, has been evaluated, is no longer needed and has been determined that the useful life has been expended and should be declared surplus inventory. Once formally declared surplus and the new mower is in service, this mower will be sold at auction.
Public Works - Parks Maintenance and Streets, Three Skidsteer Loaders
The replacement of three skidsteer (Nos. sk1328, sk1329 and sk1330) are included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (see attached CIP sheets Equip-20-421 and Equip-20-461). The skidsteers are being purchased under the State of Minnesota Contract No. 149600 though Lano Equipment. Quotation forms are attached and are consistent with the state contract pricing.
The city's three old skidsteers will be traded to the dealerships as part of these purchases. The net purchase amount with trade-ins for the three Bobcat skidsteers is $23,829.60. The skidsteers currently have 233 hours, 247 hours and 255 hours. The allotted equipment hours is 300 per each skidsteer and none are expected to exceed the allotted amount.
Public Works - Parks Maintenance and Streets, Two Ford F-550 Pickups
The replacement of two pickup trucks with dump boxes and hoists (Nos. sk1092 and sk1053) are included in the 2019 Capital Improvement Plan (see attached CIP sheets Equip-19-423 and -462). These vehicles were not purchased in 2019 due to the early timing and expiration of the 2019 state contacts. These vehicles are now being purchased under the 2020 State of Minnesota Contract Nos. 170310, 167783 and 156629. The quotations from Midway Ford Commercial and Aspen Equipment are attached and are consistent with the state contract pricing. The cost of the vehicles are $37,316.80 each plus an additional $26,044.00 for the equipment purchase and install, totaling $63,360.80 per each vehicle.
As part of this purchase, the pickups are being upgraded to four-wheel drive to help increase job efficiency, safety and expanding maintenance procedures (e.g. snow plowing, anti-icing applications, pulling equipment in rough terrain and hauling dredging material out of sediment ponds). The extra cost of four-wheel drive is expected to be recouped at the time of resale or trade-in.
Once replaced, the two old 2007 pickup trucks with 48k miles and 46k miles on them will be retained by the Public Works Department for internal use as holdover pickups for use by temporary summer and winter seasonal employees.
