Council approves purchase of snow plow and carbide cutting edge for up to $12,747.47
Summary
Park City Council approved the purchase of a replacement plow and a carbide cutting edge, using Sourcewell pricing and charging the capital equipment fund, after staff said a damaged plow was discontinued and two plows remain operational; vote was 5-0.
Park City Council approved the purchase of a replacement snow plow and a carbide cutting edge in an amount not to exceed $12,747.47 to be paid from the city's capital equipment fund.
The nut graf: staff said one of the city's three plows was damaged beyond feasible repair and the manufacturer discontinued that model, leaving two operational plows; the purchase restores three-plow capability and includes upgraded anti-trip features and a carbide cutting edge intended to reduce wear and protect the plow.
Public works staff explained the damaged plow was discontinued and repairs were unfeasible. The recommended procurement used Sourcewell pricing and staff obtained multiple quotes. The new plow has an anti-trip feature and the carbide cutting edge includes guards intended to prevent damage to the moldboard if the blade wears.
Action: Councilmember George Glover moved to approve the purchase in an amount not to exceed $12,747.47 from capital equipment funds; Councilmember Troy Hill seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
Council discussion included questions about current fleet status (three plows total; two currently operational) and lead time; staff estimated delivery in 2 to 4 weeks but did not state a firm lead time. Staff also said they were researching brine-making stations and hoped to return by June with options.
Ending: Purchase approved; staff to issue purchase order and proceed with procurement under Sourcewell pricing.
