With down time, emergency work, and setting new culverts, two <br />machines would allow one machine to work on the drainage program at all <br />times. <br />An additional machine is being considered for the 1982-1983 budget year. <br />However, the summer months are the best time of the year for this type of <br />work. With the quantity of work required to cut new ditches, and the number <br />of culverts that will have to be reset or replaced, the drainage program will <br />proceed at a much faster rate if another machine is added. <br />I have received a proposal form the Hi-Way Equipment Company to lease a new <br />Gradall Model G3W Hydraulic Excavator for FIVE THOUSAND FOUF.f[UNDRED <br />DOLLARS ($5,400.00) per month. Purchase price is ONE HUNDRED ONE THOUSAND <br />EIGHT HUPIDRED SEVENTY SEVEN DOLLARS ($101,877.00). The proposal would <br />guarantee four (4) months rental at this price per month, and all paid <br />rentals will be -applied to the purchase, if'~Council elects to purchase <br />the new machine. <br />Bid price for the present 1980 machine was NINETY NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED <br />FIFTY DOLLARS ($99,950.00). This is a difference of ONE THOUSAND NINE <br />HUTIDRED TWENTY SEVEN DOLL!4~?S ($1,927.00) between the old machine and the new <br />machine. The two machines are identical except for color and control features, <br />which have been improved. <br />I recommend that the City lease the new Gradall Model G3W Hydraulic Excavator <br />from Hi-Way Equipment Company in the amount of 'FIVE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED <br />DOLLARS ($5,400.00) per month .for four months, and consider applying the <br />rent toward the purchase price of OniE HUNDRED ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED <br />SEVENTY SEVEN DOLLARS ($101,877.00) at the end of the four months, if the <br />proposed budget is adopted. <br />If you should. have any questions, please advise. <br />JH/me <br /> <br />-- ~ ~ <br />
