ITEM #RYR-37-22
This 22,000 lb. Steel Yard Ramp is designed for loading
and unloading a truck, trailer, or railcar when dock space
isn't available. Unlike similar yard ramp models, this yard
ramp ships fully assembled so it's ready to use on arrival
Manufactured from durable steel, this yard ramp has a
dual action hydraulic pump for smooth raising and
lowering of the yard ramp. The 8" high guard rails on
either side reduce the risk of drive -offs. This system
accommodates docks, trailers or trucks frorn 42" to 62" H
and features a level -off platform as well as two approach
ramps to provide a smooth ground to ramp transition.
Two 60" safety chains to hold the ramp secure to the
loading surface. The chains can be attached to a semi -
truck trailer's ICC bumper to prevent the ramp from
kicking out. The surface of the ramp includes a middle
diamond plated strip that is Surrounded by serrated steel
grating, which allows for snow, dirt, and debris to fall
through, preventing dangerous build-up on the ramp
(please note, the grated surface of this ramp is not
designed for forklift turning maneuvers).

Hello,
Shannon and I went over the account and double checked it all. We feel this account number
(132.0159-0000.5947500.560000.) is the best one to use and there are the funds available.
Caitlin, is there a form that accounting should be filling out for you when confirming these types of
requests?
Thank you,

Hello,
Looks like some paths were crossed - I received this email (attached) from Jim about 40 minutes
ago - looking at Shannon's response, it looks like maybe an incorrect fund number is being
referenced somewhere. Could we get final confirmation that this is an allowable use of those
funds, and confirmation of the fund number?
Thanks!

Subject: Capital request
Good morning Shannon,
So, if I am reading this correctly there was $245,000 budgeted to BEET 2 and so far, today, we
have used $120,584.62 out of this account. Leaving us with $124,415.38, so there is enough to
cover the request.
Would you please review and let me know if you come to the same conclusion?
Thank you so much!!

Let me know where we are in the process, it's a bit of an emergency due to a change in trucking
companies. We have plenty of capital funds still available from what was approved by the BOCC

Importance: High
Hello!
Since this appears to be a request for a Capital Purchase, I would say that Accounting and/or the
Auditor should review this. Maybe we can get a response from them this week so we can add it to
Consent next week. Flagging this as high importance for review.
Thanks!
