RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a Single Source Procurement with Thompson Tractor Company for Dealer Certified Rebuild of a Caterpillar 836H Compactor - Patrick T. Johnson, Solid Waste Management Department Director

That the Board approve a Single Source Procurement, with Thompson Tractor Company for Dealer Certified Rebuild of a Caterpillar 836H Compactor, PN 58351, for the amount of $405,037.

[Funding: Fund 401, Solid Waste Fund, Cost Center 230314, Object Code 56401]

BACKGROUND:

The Caterpillar 836H Compactor, PN 58351, has been in operation at the Perdido Landfill for approximately 5 years. Current operating hours are in excess of 11,000, and thus, has exceeded its life expectancy.

The Caterpillar Company Certified Re-build Program was started approximately 30 years ago and is possible because of the strength of the frame and the quality of the components used. The re-build has to meet stringent Caterpillar specifications, which are monitored closely. Through this program, components are required to meet manufacturer specifications and are replaced accordingly. Upon Certified Re-build, the machine is issued a new serial number. A savings of approximately $600,000 is realized in comparison to the cost of $1,000,000.00 for a brand new machine, with a similar warranty.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds are available in Fund 401, Solid Waste Fund, Cost Center 230314.
