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 D8T truck type tractor, PN 58960, for the amount of $400,105.

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

BACKGROUND:

The Caterpillar D8T Truck Type Tractor, PN 58960, has been in operation at the Perdido Landfill for approximately 5 years. Current operating hours are in excess of 8,000. The Caterpillar Company Certified Re-build Program must meet stringent Caterpillar specifications. 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. This results in a savings of approximately $300,000, compared to the purchase of a new machine with a similar warranty.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

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