The lift all unit does not meet the required <br />height of 52 ft. measured at a point 12'-1" out <br />from the center of the turntable at the bottom <br />front edge of the bucket. <br />2. The size of the basket is smaller than specified. <br />3. Control at the bucket has full pressure control <br />rather than the master slave low pressure <br />system specified. <br />4. Has open center hydraulic system rather than the <br />closed center with accumulator specified. <br />Other Considerations <br />The service on the Hi -Ranger unit is in Bourbon, Indiana which <br />is much closer than Lift All's which is in Delphi, Indiana. <br />At the present time they only have approximately 100 units in <br />the field and in operation. They have been manufacturing this <br />unit for only 1 1/2 years compared to 30 some years of <br />Hi -Ranger. <br />Upon a motion made by Ms. Barnard, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski and <br />carried, the above recommendation was approved and the bids <br />awarded. <br />ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 17-1985 - DISPOSAL OF OBSOLETE <br />EQUIPMENT (BUREAU OF TRAFFIC AND LIGHTING) <br />Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Ms. Barnard and <br />carried, the following Resolution No. 17-1985 was adopted: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 17-1985 <br />WHEREAS, it has been determined by the Board of Public <br />Works that the following equipment is no longer needed by <br />the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting of the City of South <br />Bend: <br />SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT A, PAGES 1 AND 2 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
