BACKGROUND:

The Caterpillar 725, 6x6 Articulated Dump Truck, Serial #B1L00354, PN 58821, has been in operation at the Perdido Landfill for ten years. Current operating hours are in excess of 8,000. This equipment is an all-terrain unit used in Landfill Operations to maintain the facility in compliance with its FDEP Operating Permit. It is primarily utilized to transport cover materials to the active landfill site and perform routine site maintenance as required. In order to maintain the proper operation of this heavy equipment, it must be periodically reconditioned/repaired. By utilizing Thompson Caterpillar Company for these repairs, components are designed to meet manufacturer specifications and are replaced accordingly. This machine repair/rebuild results in an approximate savings of $131,733 versus the cost of purchasing a new machine for approximately $355,564 (2015 cost estimate).
