conditions. The enclosed cab also improves visibility and protects staff from environmental <br />hazards, supporting a safer and more reliable work environment. <br />Potential lifecycle savings: $3,000 — $5,000 annually by reducing fuel use, turf/park damage, and <br />the need for multiple specialized machines. <br />Key Drop Spreader Attachment Benefits: Adding a Western Drop 250 spreader to the City's fleet <br />will improve winter maintenance efficiency and public safety while reducing long-term costs. The <br />drop -style design applies de-icing material precisely where the vehicle travels, making it ideal for <br />sidewalks, trails, and other narrow public spaces. This targeted application minimizes salt waste, <br />reduces overspray onto turf, landscaping, and stormwater systems, and lowers overall material <br />costs. Built with durable stainless steel components, the spreader is designed to withstand heavy <br />municipal use with minimal maintenance. Beyond cost savings, the unit helps protect the City's <br />green spaces and infrastructure from salt damage, supports sustainability goals by reducing <br />environmental impacts, and enhances public confidence in the City's commitment to safe, well - <br />maintained facilities. <br />Key Benefits of the V-Plow: Efficient snow removal in tight areas such as trails, walkways, and <br />small parking lots. Multiple blade configurations (V-shape, straight, scoop) for versatile clearing <br />around obstacles and varying conditions. Enhanced safety and accessibility by quickly reducing <br />slip hazards at entrances, paths, and park facilities. Reduced surface and turf damage compared to <br />full-size plows. Lower operating costs through decreased fuel use and reduced wear on larger fleet <br />vehicles. Rapid deployment after snow events, ensuring faster response times and improved public <br />service. <br />Conclusion <br />Investing in a Kubota RTV-X1100CWL-H would significantly enhance the Parks Department's <br />ability to maintain city assets effectively. Its versatility, all -season capability, and efficiency make <br />it an essential tool for improving service delivery, reducing costs, and supporting staff safety <br />across the city's park system. <br />3.
