■ A1P 15 Snow Removal Equipment— A grant offer for AIP 15 has
been received for Snow Removal Equipment Phase I, but the cost
is unknown. The City Council is expected to accept the offer at
their February 12t meeting. Issues:
The actual cost could come in at a value higher than the
Project of $156,000+, which includes the 5% grant match.
Options: 1) Purchase the equipment, even if the bid is more
than the total available and then be reimburse out of a future
entitlement grant, or 2) have the contractors hold the bids for
90 days.
The bid opening date is February 17th; 3 bids expected.
Of note, the equipment of choice is an all wheel drive tractor
with a PTO front and back, and also has four attachments
available: 1) a snow broom, 2) a snow blade, 3) a dirt
bucket, and 4) a snow -blower unit.
■ Equipment Update— both the Oshkosh and the Kenworth have
had recent repairs made, and are now in good working order.
