AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff is recommending that the City Council approve a Fleet purchase.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The 2022 Fleet Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the replacement of the City’s 2006 Felling skid
loader trailer. That trailer has reached its useful life and is in need of many repairs. Staff is looking at
replacing that trailer with a tilt deck trailer that is slightly longer and has a greater operating capacity which
will allow staff to haul a wider variety of equipment on it, and meets the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating) specifications.
Staff has requested State contract quotes from M&G Trailer Sales for a 2022 Midsota TB-20, and received a
quote of $10,795. They have also offered the City a trade-in price for the 2006 trailer of $1,015. Final net
purchase price for the trailer would be $9,997.50 after all of the licensing fees, taxes and trade in value.
This amount is within the 2022 CIP budgeted amount of $12,568.
The Public Works Subcommittee was presented with this information at its February 16 meeting and
recommended that it be placed on consent agenda.
