SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Pending City Council’s discussion and approval of funding opportunities for the 2019/20 Downtown Sidewalk Maintenance Program, a Ventrac 4500 Tractor with additional attachments was
added into the estimated cost as an initial investment to successfully execute and operate the proposed program.
The Parks Department purchased this same piece of equipment in 2017 following significant research and multiple demo sessions. Since then, it has proven extremely universal year-round
for both sidewalk maintenance and day to day operations such as mowing, turf cultivation, and construction. Based on the increased maintenance demand of the proposed downtown sidewalk
program, a second tractor is needed to perform the work.
Rocky Mountain Equipment Company has placed the order to hold but not commit the equipment including attachments to ensure delivery prior to the winter snow season. Pending City Council’s
decisions, the contract will authorize RMT Equipment to commit the tractor and attachments for purchase when funds are available in FY20 for a mid to late November delivery.
The product brochure and purchase contract are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the RMT Equipment contract for the purchase a Ventrac 4500 Tractor with attachments, and authorize the Mayor to sign all documents.
