PURCHASE OF FALCON RECYCLER IN THE AMOUNT OF$32.139.00 Public Works Director Bill Terry called Falcon to get a quote for an asphait hot box. The quote that he received was $7,000.00 less if it is purchased by the end of this month. The contract runs out February 28, 2014 and would need to be purchased by that date. The state purchase price is $32,000.00. The City has money available in the capital fund for the 2013-2014 budgets that has not yet been used. This piece of equipment can recycle millings removed from the MFT projects and chunks of blacktop removed from the streets. These pieces are placed into the machine and then recycled to turn it into hot mix. The hot mix is a better option than the cold patch. The cold patch is very expensive ($100.00/ton) and is a short term fix. The City usually budgets 120 ton per year- and that often is not enough. The City could reduce the cost for the cold patch, and have a better product by using the hot patch that will last longer. Motion and second were made by Aldermen Justin Nelson/Pickel to approve the purchase of the Falcon Recycler in the amount of$32,139.00.
