ITEM:
Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new Caterpillar 918M Wheel Loader for Public Works Department, Water Division. (Manuel Rojas, Assistant Public Works Director)
SUMMARY:
Staff contacted the local Caterpillar Machinery dealer in Yuma, Arizona and requested a bid, National IPA, City of Tucson #120377. Subject purchase provides a saving of over $50,000.00 of list price, and $4,467.75 savings over National IPA contract bid price. The CAT 918M wheel loader purchase would provide increase efficiency in Water Division operations and Public Works Yard. The CAT 918M wheel Loader comes with a set of lifting forks, an advantage for loading and unloading heavy equipment. Under San Luis City Code-Purchasing Section 36.01(H), Council may waive formal purchase procedures. Justification for the waiver here is that bidding likely will not bring a lower cost since it went out to bid under the National IPA contract and staff was able to get it cheaper than that. Staff recommends the purchase of a Caterpillar 918M wheel loader, heavy equipment for Public Works, Water Division in the amount quoted $132,186.83.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
Discussion and possible directions to staff only, no action.
