ITEM 8
City Council Memorandum Community Services Memo No. N/A
Date:
August 18, 2022
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Tadd Wille, Assistant City Manager
John Sefton, Community Services Director
From:
Jeffrey Larsen, Parks Operations and Maintenance Manager
Subject:
Purchase of Kubota Tractor
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the purchase of a Kubota tractor, from Bingham Equipment Company, utilizing the of State of Arizona Contract No. ADSPO18-202735, in the amount of $90,527.58.
Background/Discussion:
The Park Operations Division is requesting to replace a backhoe tractor with scraper for soil contouring and pallet forks. The backhoe being replaced was 29 years old and originally purchased in 1992. Over the past several years, the backhoe became increasingly unreliable and prone to break-downs, which delayed staff’s ability use it in a timely manner for parks maintenance. Over the past four years alone, the backhoe was in the shop 35 times for repairs. Most recently, it needed more than $7,400 in repairs to the hydraulic system and injection system (new injector pump, new hydra pump, new swing cylinder, and tires), subsequently deemed no longer serviceable, and sold at auction.
Evaluation:
The State of Arizona competitively solicited and awarded a contract for landscape and utility vehicles, trailers, and equipment, which includes tractors. The City has a current agreement with the State of Arizona allowing for the cooperative use of the State's contracts. The State of Arizona contract is valid through November 7, 2022.
Financial Implications:
CIP Project (6PR652) allocates $90,000 of the total cost of $90,527.28. The balance, $527.28, is proposed to be funded with projected savings from the Parks Centralized Irrigation System Replacement (6PR644) program.
