Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 12, 2004
Through: Phil Shealy, City Manager
Through: W.C. Casey, Director of Public Works
From: Saundra Fletcher, Admin. Assistant Public Works
Agenda Item: Purchasing New Tire Machine for City Shop
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward’s Tire Machine is fifteen years old, is reaching the end of its useful life, and only has the capacity
to change tire rims up to 16½ inches. Vehicle purchases in the last two years have made this tire machine no longer
suitable for taking care of the City fleet as needed. Today’s vehicles have rims starting at 15 inches, and go up to 22
inches. The Electric department, Street department, Harbor department, Parks & Recreation department, and the
Water department all have vehicles that will be needing a machine that can handle the larger rims.
Shop personnel solicited quotes from three companies. Six Robblees, Inc., Pacific Equipment, and Alaska
Automotive Equipment, Inc. The lowest quote, $8,995.00, for a Hofmann 3850 Tire Machine with Alaska
Automotive Equipment, Inc. was chosen as the best deal for the City. Public Works is requesting that the funding for
this item come out of the General Fund Fund Balance, and transferred to the Shop Equipment Line Item.
