It will replace a 1982 Hy-Power sewer <br /> rodder. <br /> The low bid of Sreco-Flexible for the EMSP-6 machine does not meet City of Decatur <br /> specifications. <br /> Citv of Decatur Sreco-Flexible <br /> - Unit equipped with hydraulic not available <br /> accessory connection <br /> - Hydraulic dump bed not available <br /> - Lifting hoist consisting of an not available <br /> electric winch system, frame <br /> work and pulleys <br /> The attachments allow the machine to be used in more situations than just a hose reel carrier. For <br /> example, the hydraulic accessory connection allows the use of hydraulic operated tools and <br /> pumps. The hydraulic dump bed transports material into areas that are not accessible by heavy <br /> equipment. The lifting hoist is used to lift materials and castings in areas for off road sewer <br /> repairs, which will create a safer work environment than the present manual lifting by employees. <br /> The second low bid of Coe Equipment meets the City of Decatur specifications in the areas <br /> mentioned above. <br /> It is staff recommendation to accept the second low bid of Coe Equipment to furnish a 1999 <br /> JAJ600 Sewer Equipment of America sewer easement machine and transport trailer for$24,948. <br />
