Mini-skid steer excavator/loader and Mini-Asphalt Roller - Purchase and Delivery
History
The Public Works Department budgeted for a new dingo and mini asphalt roller in 2021. In smaller areas where a regular skid steer cannot operate, a mini-skid steer excavator/loader (dingo) would be able to assist Public Work personnel to perform their duties. Such tight spaces include areas such as side and rear yards and along narrow bike paths. By utilizing multiple attachments, the dingo can benefit all divisions of the department. These attachments can be used for stump grinding, trenching, jack hammering concrete, brush clearing, auguring fence posts and park signs, lifting pallets off trucks or elevated storage shelves, tree clearing, parkway restorations, and carrying and spreading various materials. This equipment would also reduce the likelihood of costly back injuries, and associated comp time, due to its capabilities.
The Village’s existing Hamm asphalt roller has multiple mechanical and performance issues and has reached the end of its service life. The unit was purchased in 2007, and was used to compact asphalt patches and larger potholes in the Streets Department. The Public Works Department plans to auction this piece of equipment upon delivery of the new mini-roller. The mini-roller has a tandem vibratory roller that has a 35.4-inch drum width and includes dual drum drive and articulated steering for excellent maneuverability. It will be used for compaction of asphalt repairs, potholes, and granular subbase material. Due to its small stature, it will allow for easy compaction near curbs, walls, along bike paths, and in confined areas.
A proposal was requested from ALTA (formerly Martin Implement), who is a local provider of Toro equipment, utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative contract 062117-TTC for the new dingo and Sourcewell Cooperative contract 041719-WAC for the mini asphalt roller. The proposed dingo also includes the following six...
