RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the award of a Purchase Order for One D6 LGP Waste Arrangement VPAT for the Waste Services Department - Wes Moreno, Public Works Department Director and Pat Johnson, Waste Services Department Director
That the Board take the following action:
A. Authorize the use of Sourcewell Contract # 032119-Cat: and
B. Award and Authorize the County Administrator to sign a Purchase Order, in the amount of $457,875, to Thompson Caterpillar for the purchase of one D6 LGP Waste Arrangement VPAT for the Waste Services Department.
The purchase of this equipment will replace the existing 2008 Caterpillar D6T dozer PN#57026. Repairs associated with PN# 57026 have resulted in an increase in repair/maintenance expenditures. Given the increased amount of waste being received from Hurricane Sally, as well as the projected increase due to continual residential expansion in the County and city, waste equipment capable of meeting the demand, with minimal operating costs is necessary.
