RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approves the purchase of 2024 Asphalt Roller from RDO Equipment Co. in the amount of $161,311.67.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The purchase of a 2024 Asphalt Roller is included in the approved FY24 Equipment Replacement Plan (ERP) and FY24 Street and Traffic budget. The asphalt roller is an integral part of the asphalt program and is used to make repairs to failing streets and replace asphalt. Staff is recommending procurement of the equipment using the cooperative purchasing agreement (Sourcewell), as the pricing is better than competitive bid pricing. The existing asphalt roller will be sold.
ALTERNATIVES
City Council may:
- Approve purchasing the 2024 Asphalt Roller; or,
- Not approve the purchase. If not approved, the Public Works Department will be required to continue using the existing equipment that is at or near the end of its useful life. Maintenance costs will increase and reliability will decrease.
FISCAL EFFECTS
The Asphalt Roller was budgeted in FY24 using Street Maintenance District funds. There is sufficient budget for this purchase.
