body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The current equipment inventory for Public Works & Facilities (PWF) Department does not include a Mini-Excavator or a small dump trailer. The two additional pieces of equipment will facilitate the removal/replacement of materials from city right of way for either the installation of new sidewalk(s), curb and gutter, curb ramps, etc. or removal/replacement of such. Currently the only asset that PWF has that can perform the task is a backhoe; however, it requires significant space (e.g., a full lane of roadway) to perform any task due to its size. With the smaller equipment, work can be performed in much smaller spaces with limited road closures or possibly no road closures at all. This set up allows PWF to expedite work in the right of way, have less impact on surrounding residents, and be more efficient with resource usage.
City Council is being requested to authorize the transfer and use of the LOST IV Sidewalk Improvements in the amount of $59,100 for the purchase of a Kubota Mini-Excavator and dump trailer.
If approved, the formal bid process for equipment procurement will be followed.
PRIOR ACTION:
None
FUNDING:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Currently there is a balance of $657,100 in the FY 2021 Sidewalk Improvements account in the Local Option Sales Tax Fund. Adoption of the Supplemental Budget Resolution will shift funds from the LOST Series IV Fund for Sidewalk Improvements to the purchase of the Kubota U35-4 Mini-Excavator and the purchase of a dump trailer leaving a new FY 2021 balance in the LOST IV Sidewalk Improvements account of $598,000.
The Supplemental Budget Resolution will be effective retroactive to September 30, 2021 as to enable the utilization of the FY 2021 Sidewalk Improvements balance and allow for the immediate purchase of the equipment needed.
