BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The City identified a need to purchase equipment to add equipment that will increase productivity and efficiency of street repairs and maintenance performed by City’s street and drainage crews.

 

The Backhoe Loader will give our crews the equipment needed to continue to be as efficient as possible without the added cost of renting. The Skidsteer will allow our crews to address more drainage issues without the added cost of renting. The Dump Truck will allow our crews to get material to the job sites quicker and improve our efficiency. The Wirtgen Milling Machine will allow our department to expand our internal crews ability and efficiency to maintain and repair streets. The Haul Truck and Trailer will allow us to move our Milling Machine to and from the job site as well as moving multiple pieces of equipment at one time.   

 

Pricing was requested from HOLT.CAT through a Sourcewell cooperative contract, Freightliner of Austin through both a BuyBoard and TIPS cooperative contract, Cooper Equipment Company through a BuyBoard Contract, and Nueches Power Equipment through a BuyBoard cooperative contract.  All requested equipment purchases are being made in accordance with the City’s procurement policies and procedures and have been competitively solicited through the cooperatives represented.  The total cost for the vehicles requested is $1,005,192 which has been allocated in the FY22 adopted budget.
