CONSENT AGENDA - Jon Haukaas, Director of Public Works
Title
APPROVE 2021 PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL EQUIPMENT PURCHASES
Background
In the adoption of the 2021 Capital Budget, Council appropriated funding for certain pieces of equipment in the Capital Equipment Plan. Pursuant to the City Charter, Sec. 6.05, staff is now requesting Council approval for the purchase of the vehicles listed below. All equipment had been listed in information provided to the City Council at previous budget discussion work sessions, and approval was contingent upon final adoption of the 2021 budget.
All the equipment listed will be purchased through the State Cooperative Purchasing Program from various vendors. The State Cooperative Purchasing Program meets all requirements for competitive bidding. Contract pricing reflects actual dealer price changes since the budget was developed. While the trailer being purchased exceeds its budgeted appropriation, in total sufficient funding was appropriated in the Water Utility Capital Budget, as other equipment to be purchased from the Water Utility Fund is expected to come in under budget.
