2025 thru 2034 <br />Capital Improvement Plan <br />Ramsey, MN <br />Project # PW-762 <br />Project Name Brush Bandit/19XPC Wood Chipper <br />Total Project Cost $85,000 Department Capital Equipment <br />Type Equipment Category Capital Equipment <br />Priority 1-Existing Obligation (High) Status Active <br />Useful Life 10 years <br />Description <br />Brush Bandit Intimidator 19XPC Wood Chipper <br />Justification <br />Requesting a new Bandit Chipper with a 19" throat to add to our fleet. With the emergence of Emerald Ash Borer throughout the entire City on top of trimming trails, sidewalks, parks, storm damage, right-of-way maintenance and <br />storm ponds, we are falling short by only having two crews out for tree removal. Many of these trees that we are running into are too big for our current 12" chipper's capabilities which is costing us man-hours and efficiencies by <br />having to load a separate truck to jaul back oversized trees to be dumped at our shop rather than quickly chipping them as they fall. This is a good purchase that can be utilized by all departments with year-round use while also <br />covering more areas simultaniously by having an additional crew out in the field. <br />Expenditures <br />2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Total <br />Furnishings/Equipment 85,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85,000 <br />Total 85,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85,000 <br />Funding <br />Sources 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 Total <br />General Fund -Property Tax Levy 85,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85,000 <br />Total 85,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85,000 <br />Produced Using Plan -It CIP Software 181 <br />
