Finance Committee - 8/15/2018 Page 4

Nicholas Caggiano, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation
So you buy the cab and chassis which is just that the cab and chassis, and then the up-fitting includes the

plow, the wing, the sander and the hydraulic system which controls all of that and the controls on the cab. We
have a great value, H.P. Fairfield was holding the 2017 price, and hydraulic equipment is expensive.

Alderwoman Kelly
Thank you.
MOTION CARRIED

From: Dan Kooken, Purchasing Manager
Re: Roadside Mowing (Value: Not-to-Exceed $28,000)

MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT TO
KOHL FARMS IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $28,000. FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IN DEPARTMENT

177, PARKS & RECREATION; GENERAL OPERATING AND TRUST FUNDS ($24,000) AND
DEPARTMENT 169, WASTEWATER ($4,000)

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Laws
Just out of curiosity, why are we outsourcing this particular one?

Mr. Caggiano

We do not have this piece of equipment and even if we did the time it takes to put a man in that machine for all
that time; the value is subbing it out. This year especially, | don’t Know if you all have seen the growth on the
side of the road with all the rain we’ve had. It’s been tropical for two months. We have a tremendous backlog
of roadside brush that needs to be cut, intersections and this contract will take care of that.

Alderwoman Kelly

| was wondering if this price is similar to what we have done in the past, | assume it is a contract that we do
every year or has it gone up based on the needs?

Mr. Caggiano

Kohl Farms held their price since 2014, this year, due to fuel costs he asked to go up $5.00 an hour which is
still well below the 10% City requirement for contract increases.
