CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this is our sidewalk trackers that we use for snow removal on the sidewalks -primarily around
schools. But we do maintain 50 miles of sidewalks throughout the city. These particular tractors you can use multiple
implements. So we get to use them in the summer with the milling attachment. So we do our mill and fill program that's
paving. We grind out bad sections of street that aren't on the paving program and we pave small patches citywide. We
have a sweeper, we have a sickle bar mower form. So it's a multi tool that’s used year round. We typically have nine of
them. We just auctioned off two that were out of service. | have two out back that are out of service. So they work hard.
They beat themselves up every time they run. This is replacing 16-060. It is a 3,200 hired hour machine and I'm happy to
take any questions you may have.

ON THE QUESTION
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this will be replacing our 12-105 excavator. It's a 312 Cat and this one will be a rubber tire
machine which will get us out to the jobs a lot quicker. We can actually drive it down over the road versus loading one up
on a flatbed trailer and carting it to the jobs.
As you probably know, we take on through the Division of Public Works a lot of larger scale projects. This will make it a
lot more equitable to take on those projects. It'll be the backbone of our operation, so to speak. We do sewer repairs,
drainage repairs, road work but also projects as the sidewalks downtown and the Greeley Park program, rehabilitation of
the Lincoln Park project, the skate park. All these larger projects, we're getting into and saving the city a lot of money.
This will this will help us continue to do such things and I'm happy to answer any questions relative to this purchase.
