Subject:
Purchase Sewer Jetter for Public Works Sanitary Sewer Division
Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize the early purchase of a 2022 sewer jetter from Flexible Pipe Tool Co., in the total amount of $279,908.00; and declare the 1993 Ford sewer jetter as surplus.
Recommendation:
Authorize the purchase and declare equipment as surplus.
Discussion:

The replacement of the 2007 Sterling Acterra sewer jetter No. sk1072 is summarized in the attached CIP sheet Sewer 22-711. The sewer jetter is being purchased under State of Minnesota Contract Nos. 194864 and 191958 through Flexible Pipe Tool Co. The quotation form is attached and consistent with state contract pricing.

 

The Sanitary Sewer Division currently has two jetters: a 2007 Sterling Acterra sk1072 (6408 hours) and a 1993 Ford F450 (1945 hours). Both have been evaluated and determined that the 1993 Ford is no longer needed, the useful life has been expanded and should be declared surplus inventory for trade-in/sale once replaced. The 2007 Sterling Acterra will be retained as the new backup jetter for the sanitary sewer division.

Budget Impact:
The budget for the Sanitary Sewer Departments jetter per the CIP is $275,000. The actual total purchase amount is $279,908.00 which is $4,908 (.018 percent) over budget. The vehicle will be purchased with Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recover Funds.
