MaY,28. 2004 12:14PM Cass County HighwaY Dept, No.0510 p. 2 MEMORANDUM DATE: May 28, 2004 TO: Keith Berndt County Engineer FROM: Rich Sieg ~ SUBJECT: 2004 Budget Item Purchase As part of the 2004 we budgeted tt)r a roller attachment for use with our motor graders. This piece of equipment win be attached to the back of the grc1der in order to compact gravel roads or shoulders in one operation. This would eliminate the need for using a roUer pulled behind a tr&':tor in some cases, and also al1owthe use of a roller at tin"les when a separate roller is not availablc. Quotes were received from two vendors, 1 Contractors SnJutions ofBl1Iings, MT and Diamond Mowen; of Sioux Falls, SO. Allhough the quote from Diamond Mowers is lower, their roller can only he used on a motor grader with a factory installed ripper attacJuncnt. Of our 7 motor graders, onJy one ha.'J a ripper, limiting the use to only one machine. The WaJk n Roll from 1 Contractors SoJutions has a hydraulic Jill assembly that will attach to the rear of a motor grader not equipped with a ripper, aHowing the use on those machines, and also has a quick attach íèature so it can also be attached to our machine with the ripper. 1ñis would sHow LL"Je of tlle roller on. any of our motor gradcr~. 1 would recommend that the Walk n Roll from 1 Contractors Solutions be purchased due to it'! ability to be used on more than one motor grader, thw; giving us more flexibility of use. cc: RogeT Mertes
