The Facilities Maintenance Manager received a quote from Banks Boiler Service,

3. Emergency Purchase of Two Replacement Tire Changing Machines:



On October 27, 2011, the Fleet Division of Public Services requested approval

for the emergency purchase of two replacement tire changing machines to be

utilized at the Fleet Shop.



Both of the current tire changing machines became inoperable at the same time.

Both machines are more than 15 years old. The repair costs would exceed the

purchase of new units, due to the age of the machines and the availability of

parts. The emergency purchase is requested before the Fleet Division is

forced to utilize outside contractors, which could cost the city up to

$2,200.00 a week. The tire shop changes up to 150 tires a week. On the open

market, a tire change could cost between $15.00 to $18.00 a tire.



The Fleet Shop contacted the manufacturer?s representative for the current

machines, Mohawk Rubber Sales of N.E., who quoted $5,964.28 to replace both

tire changing machines. The City Manager approved the emergency repair on

October 27, 2011.



Funds are budgeted in the FY12 Budget:
