09.e1 PW-Equipment Attachment Purchase Consent
Purchase Consent
Date of Meeting: 02/20/2024
For: Mayor and City Council
From: Charles Fischer – Director of Public Works
Subject: Budgeted Attachment Purchase
Background:
The 2024 CIP schedule includes the purchase of an equipment attachment for either the loader,
skid steer, or tractor. The total budgeted amount is $27,000.
Consent for Purchase:
Public Works is seeking consent to purchase a forestry mulcher attachment for the tractor
boom system. This attachment will allow for clearing of brush and small diameter trees blocking
the drainage or choking out beneficial vegetation within the ROW. The design of the cutting
head allows to cut and mulch the material into small pieces almost eliminating the need to
remove woody vegetation by hand or secondary equipment while brush clearing.
This attachment is not for tree trimming, it will be utilized when complete removal of woody
vegetation is required. Tree trimming by chain or hand saw will still be the standard practice for
removing limbs from trees to remain standing in the ROW.
By utilizing this attachment Public Works will be able to maintain the ROW in much more
efficient and cleaner method and increase the safety of our staff by limited their time working
in the roadway.
Diamond Mowers is the only vendor which builds the attachment described above and matches
the brand of the boom and control system currently on the tractor. The mulching head is under
the budgeted amount of $27,000 at a cost of $22,956.00 with delivery.
Upon consent, Public Works will order the mulching head which has a 6–8-week lead time.
