FROM: Commissioner of Publjc Works and
Purchasing Committee

SUBJECT: Proposed trade of city owned belt loaders for tractor front end loaders
In 1964-65, the Public Works Department purchased two force feed belt type
toaders for snow removal operations at a total cost of approximately $42,000.
Since that time the Clty of St. Paul has followed a trend of many other cities in
de-emphasizing snow removal operations i� favor of less costly and more fruitful
sanding, salting and plowing operations, and these units have received very little
usage. It is estimated their present value is in the vicinity of $25,000 to
$30,000 - - the exact amount being difficult to assess because many municfpalities
have abandoned the usage of belt type loaders and demand for them �is very limited.
The manufacturer for these units, who necessarily has contacts throughout
the United States as an avenue for disposal of them, has made an offer to the Public
Works Department to trade these belt type units on an even basis for two near new
condition tw�o cubic yard bucket type rubber tired diesel powered front encl loaders
furnished with new machine �rarrantfes. Such units are needed summer and winter by
the Public Works Department, would cost approxima�tely $38,000 new, and would have
a present value� in the vicinity of $25,000 to $27,000.
�
The Purchasing Committee, after due consideration of the value of equipment
to be released for and to be obtained from such e proposal , finds it to be in the
best interests to make this exchange involving no money, and hereby concurs and .
recam�ends to the Council that authorization be granted to the Purchasing Agent
and other proper city officers to effect the proposed transaction.
