INTRODUCTION:
Public Works is requesting to purchase a Track Skidsteer Loader with attachments as
identified in the 2011 budget. Staff budgeted $110,000.00 for this purchase.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works currently has four Skidsteer Loaders; three Melroe S -185 Bobcats and one
Melroe S -300 Bobcat. All of the current Skidsteer loaders are wheel -type and do not
work well on the steep slopes for pond cleaning and mowing activities. Staff has been
researching the purchase of a track -type Skidsteer for this purpose, but has until now
been dissatisfied with the performance of the models demonstrated. Staff believes the
equipment we purchase has to be used year -round and perform well in all the
maintenance activities we require. Staff also believes in the value of buy -back
agreements which eliminates high maintenance costs and downtime. For this purpose,
we are proposing to purchase a Cat 287C Multi Terrain Skidsteer Loader from Ziegler
and trade in the existing Unit #166 a Melroe S -300 Bobcat. This machine meets all of
our requirements, including a one year buyback agreement.
Staff is also requesting to purchase several attachments which will provide many
maintenance activities for several divisions. Some of these attachments are part of
Ziegler's State Bid Price and others are State Bid Pricing from other Vendors that will
work with the Cat 287C. The funding for this purchase will come from the Internal
Service Fund, the Storm Drainage Fund, and the Sanitary Sewer Fund. Below are the
Vendors and prices for this purchase:
