Bids were received on January 31, 2017 to purchase a new bulldozer for the Solid Waste Division of the Public Works Department. Staff advertised for sealed bids on January 12, January 19 and January 26, 2017.  This purchase will replace an existing dozer that is included in the FY 2017 Equipment Replacement Plan (ERP) and the FY 2017 budget for the Solid Waste Division.  The City received a single bid from Tractor and Equipment.
 

City Council may:

• Approve purchasing the new dozer from Tractor and Equipment or;
• Disapprove the purchase and reject all bids.  If the new dozer is not purchased, the Public Works Department will be required to continue using the existing unit that is at or near the end of its useful life.  Maintenance costs will increase and reliability will decrease.
