COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: February 13, 2006
Through: Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From: Tim Barnum, Electric Utility Manager
Agenda Item: Over Expenditure on Excavator
Rental from CMI
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In September, the Public Works Department and the Electric Department were in need of
an excavator to complete several time sensitive projects, and agreed it would be a benefit
to the City to combine our rental needs in order to obtain more favorable rental pricing
terms.
The Council approved Resolution 2005-125, authorizing payment not to exceed Fifteen
Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) to CMI for the rental of an excavator.
Staffing problems, weather, a back log of work and holidays caused the Electric
Department to keep the excavator longer than initially planned. Keeping the excavator
longer allowed the Electric Department to complete the back log of jobs and to replace a
section of underground cable in Camelot that had been problematic for several years.
The Electric Department was able to use it later in the construction season, due to its size
and power. The additional use caused the total rental amount to exceed Fifteen Thousand
dollars ($15,000.00). The total cost after being returned was Eighteen Thousand One
Hundred Twenty-five Dollars and Sixty-three Cents ($18,125.63), exceeding the
approved amount by Three Thousand One Hundred Twenty-five Dollars and Sixty-three
Cents ($3,125.63).
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code,
Charter, Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of
Procedures.
Other:
_______________________________________________________________________
FISCAL NOTE:
The additional rental cost will be borne by the Electric Department, from within their
2005 Operating budget.
Approved by Finance Department:
RECOMMENDATION:

equipment rental in an amount not to exceed Eighteen Thousand One Hundred Twenty-
five Dollars and Sixty-three Cents ($18,125.63).
