CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 98-XX
AUTHORIZING STAFF TO PURCHASE (1) ONE 1998 OR
CURRENT MODEL SKID LOADER AND ATTACHMENTS.
APRIL 6,1998
The purpose of this agenda item is to authorize the purchase of (1) one
1998 or current model skid loader and attachments based upon the quotes
identified in the resolution. At the May 19, 1997 City Council meeting, .
the Council adopted an Equipment Replacement Fund and Matrix.
Identified in the matrix is $23,730.00 plus tax for acquisition of this piece
of equipment. This equipment is identified in the matrix as a
replacement, however, staff is requesting that we keep the older skid-
loader for light duty until we add another skid-loader to the fleet in 2002
(explanation below). The attachments that would be traded in at this time
are the auger and blower which are well worn and in need of
replacement.
This piece of equipment and its numerous applications are relied upon
daily by the park maintenance staff. Because of its compact size and zero
turning radius, this machine is especially effective for many park project
applications. It's primary use is to push, dig, level, backfill, and fine
grade all types of materials. With our various attachments, this piece of
equipment is also used for drilling holes, trenching for drain tile,
irrigation installation, sweeping and blowing snow, transplanting trees,
and pulverizing black dirt. Purchasing this skid-loader would relieve the
pressure on the 1991 Melroe Bobcat 753 that we currently operate.
Our existing 1991 Melroe Bobcat 753 skid loader has accumulated 3520
hours and is worth approximately $5,500.00 if we were to trade it in at
this time. If we were to keep this Bobcat we would use it for "light
duty" i.e., operating the 32" tree spade and small landscaping and grading
projects. The current practice is to rent an additional skid loader during
the construction season to complete our scheduled projects. With the
purchase of a new skid loader and by retaining the old Bobcat, we would
eliminate the need to rent the additional machine, which is a cost savings
of approximately $3,000.00-$4,000.00 per year. These rental rates will

increase over the years and the costs will escalate with the increase of
more parks and projects.
With the additional workload that we are facing, (i.e. the development of
additional trails, road, parking lot, and athletic fields at the Ponds; the
installation of seven new play structures; the construction of trails for the
Five Hawks Nature Center; and the daily maintenance activities;) the
need for a new skid loader as well as a second skid loader is substantial.
As identified in the Equipment Matrix a second skid loader is scheduled
to be purchased in the year 2002, and at that time we would trade in the
older Bobcat.
