RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Purchase of One Bobcat Compact Loader with Tool Attachments - Amy Lovoy, Management and Budget Services Department Director

That the Board authorize the County to piggyback off of the State of Florida Term Contract #760-000-10-1, in accordance with the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 46, Article II, Section 46-44, Application; exemptions; and Section 46-64, Board approval, and award a Purchase Order for one Bobcat Compact Loader, Model T650 with options, PD 12-13.039, to Bobcat Company, in the amount of $58,950.10.

[Funding: Fund 175, Transportation Trust Fund, Cost Centers 210402, Object Code 56401]

BACKGROUND:

The compact loader with attachments will enhance the asphalt repair program of the Road Department. The unit will effectively serve to prepare surfaces of the roads in repair and paving projects to receive asphalt overlays. Base price of comparable machines (John Deere and Caterpillar) from State/Sheriff contracts are 6%-18% higher than proposed model. The Road Department currently owns a Bobcat compact loader w/attachments that will be compatible with the projected machine as well. Proposed purchase is through Florida State Contract with local vendor.
