RE: P.R. 23804—Purchase of one(1) Miller Curber MC 900 Curb and Gutter
Machine with auger attachments for the Public Works Streets Division for
$43,289.00 from Miller Curber, Co. LLC. of Youngstown, Ohio
Introduction:
This agenda item requests Council's approval to purchase one (1) Miller Curber MC 900 Curb
and Gutter Machine with auger attachments for the Streets Division.
Background:
The Public Works Streets Division(Streets)maintains over 300 miles of City streets, including
curbs and gutters. Streets staff is actively involved in improving curbs, gutters,barrier walls,
and sidewalk curbs through the streets program.
Currently, the Streets Division does not have a curb and gutter machine, and the purchase of
the Miller Curber MC 900 Curb and Gutter Machine with auger attachments would increase
productivity and reduce the use of materials used when setting up forms. The equipment would
also allow staff to pour concrete in unique shapes to create and complete quick concrete
objects such as curbs and gutters.

Please make sure you take the following into consideration
Grade: Any of our machines configured for curb and gutter cannot make
automated grade changes while extruding. Any imperfections in your grade will
result in the same imperfections in your curb and gutter. Example if your grade
pitches up 5" over 3'then your curb and gutter will do the same.
Mix: Be prepared to spend sometime experimenting with a mix your are satisfied
with the finish of the curb and gutter. Some customers will use our extruded
curb mix recipe and are happy with that, others prefer a mix with a little more
slump so they can use the "cream" from the mix to give it a nicer finish, We
suggest you consult your local supplier to find a mix that you are satisfied with.
Getting familiar with the machine: Our machines are extruded machines, so
they put down a curb and push itself back against that, there is no drive or
transmission. You need to spend sometime getting use to steering, turning
radius and following the pointer.This is also a good time to determine how many
employees you will need on your crew.
Training: We do not offer any kind of onsite training, but you are welcome to
visit the factory once your machine is built and we will test it with sand, show
you how to use and answer any questions for you.
Other considerations: Moving the machine around a job site could be difficult
depending on the grade.The machine does have a lifting lug and you may want
to lift the machine with a skid steer and take it to where you will be using it. We
recommend using our curb and gutter machines on flat terrain. Minimal hills are
acceptable but could create issues.
