Committee approves two equipment purchases aimed at storm cleanup and roadside maintenance
Summary
The committee approved purchases of a Palma 720T boom mower to maintain guardrails and a 2025 Verier ML150 mini skid to reduce crew sizes and workers' comp claims; staff said the boom mower purchase used a Sourcewell contract and the mini skid saved about $6,000 off MSRP via Sourcewell.
The committee approved two equipment purchases intended to improve roadside maintenance and storm‑damage response. Staff described the Palma 720T boom mower as a Sourcewell purchase to mount on a plow truck for mowing guardrails and steep slopes; packet materials listed the purchase price as "$75,54" and staff noted the dealer is a local King County vendor. The motion passed on roll call.
Committee also approved the purchase of a 2025 Verier ML150 40‑horsepower track mini skid, bought through Sourcewell. Staff said the Sourcewell price saves about $6,000 compared with MSRP, that the unit will come with a stump grinder and allow crews to reduce crew sizes on storm‑damage cleanups, and that it may reduce workers' compensation claims related to manual chipping and handling. The motion passed by roll call with no additional discussion recorded.
