Item 2 Salt Brine Production SystemTO: City Council, City Staff members FROM: Kevin Lamson DATE: Dec. 4, 2014 RE: Salt Brine Production System/Pre-wet Tanks Discussion As part of the 2015 CIP, staff recommended $50,000 in funds to be used for the purchase of an Anti- Icing/Brine Production System. As we have gone into the 2014-15 winter season, staff has been receiving brine from the City of St. Michael to be used in snow removal operations. The City of St. Michael has graciously offered us the ability to burrow their brine production system as we need it. Although their brine system is very primitive, it will meet our needs for the short term. Staff has been reviewing options that are a more appropriate use of future funds to meet the department's current needs. There are many different types of Brine Production System's on the market with a respectively large variance in price. There are "entry-level" brine systems that can be constructed with commonly used items from the hardware store. There are plug and play models that come ready to use and then there are fully automated systems that can cost in excess of $75,000. Our snow removal fleet also does not have the appropriate pre -wetting needs. We currently only have one truck fitted with pre -wet tanks with two more having pre -wet capabilities in the next couple of weeks. That still leaves the department with four trucks that do not have pre -wetting capability. We have seen first-hand this year the benefits of having pre -wet chemical applied in snow removal operations with the heavy early snow with warm pavement temperatures. Wherever we applied pre -wet chemical to the streets, we had far greater success clearing the streets of snow and ice. Staff has consulted with CM Heidner and Schroeder as members of the Public Works Subcommittee and they agreed that staff should combine the purchase of a Varitech Industries Inc. Brine Production System with the purchase of additional pre -wet tanks. The Varitech Industries Brine Production System is on State Contract Pricing for $10,500 including options. The purchase of the additional pre -wet tanks for the trucks is approximately $8,562.18 which is also on State Contract Pricing. The department would then have a functioning Brine Production System and all of the equipment to apply it for far less than the original $50,000 planned. Funding for the purchase would come from the Capital Equipment Revolving Fund. Kevin Lamson INDUSTRIES I n c A Subsidiary of FORCE America, Inc.
