Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the purchase of a 2024 hook mounted dump body/front and side plows and outfitting for snow removal and sanding operations.
The 2014-2015 Fleet Study found that, to minimize total City vehicle costs for purchase and maintenance, vehicles and associated attachments of this kind should be replaced when they reach 12 years. This body will be replacing unit 3360 which was purchased in 2006. This build will enhance 3360’s replacement to provide additional snow removal and anti-icing to our existing snow removal fleet. This will also utilize an asphalt patch unit for pothole patching duties.
This purchase is under Minnesota State contract 222958, release S-863(5) and is budgeted in the capital plan.
