Page 2 <br />April 4, 1990 <br /> <br />Heinen and Mason provided a rental option which is rental from <br />May 1 to October 1 for $1,750 (payable at delivery of equipment). <br />If the City decides to purchase at the end of the season, 90% of <br />the rental is applied to the purchase price. <br /> <br />The basic irrigation unit can be fitted with a booster pump to <br />increase spraying radius or diffuser nozzles to lighten spray. <br />These are options which can be added if necessary. <br /> <br />In addition to the basic unit, a longer supply hose and couplings <br />will be necessary. Collapsible supply hose can be purchased from <br />Heinen and Mason at $1.25/LF and the fittings would be in the range <br />of $30.00. Mark Boos has indicated, however, that the City may be <br />able to purchase supply hose of a better grade satisfactory for <br />public works as well at a cost of approximately $1.50/LF. <br /> <br />Outright purchase of the unit would be $4,175 for the 160B unit <br />plus cost of additional supply hose and couplers. If the rental <br />option is pursued and then the equipment is purchased, the total <br />cost would increase $175 to $4,350 plus supply hose and couplers. <br /> <br />I've also discussed the possibility of obtaining a surface water <br />appropriation permit with the DNR and it's likely the City could <br />receive a temporary permit (cost $75). Combined with a booster <br />pump which the City already owns, a good portion of the south end <br />of the park could also be irrigated assuming that adequate supply <br />hose is available. <br /> <br />It is our recommendation to rent the unit from Heinen and Mason and <br />if it performs to the City's needs, purchase it at the end of the <br />season. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />HAKANSON ANDERSON ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> <br />File: RA7:01-6 <br /> <br /> <br />
