ONE (1) TROMMEL MACHINE – B06041

 

The Public Works Department requested bids for a trommel machine for screening compost.  This will improve the quality and usability of finished compost producing a product that can be sold for additional revenue.  The low bid from Powerscreen Midwest for $114,900.00 met all specifications.  We also requested pricing for a reversible fan for an additional $780.00 and a 2” screen for an additional $2,800.00.  The potential uses for the larger screen are for storm debris and rock debris from the Street Department.  KDHE grant will fund $85,000.00 of the purchase price.  This purchase was budgeted in the 2006 budgeting process.
