(p. 16-1 REPORF~ ...;;~;~7~~;~i~0'~! To the Honorable~MäYor~~l1c!:Ci,ty Couracil . ~·,.,~.FròmtheCI Mana er October 11, 2004 Subject Purchase of one (1) Three Yard Wheel Loader Recommendation By Motion approve the purchase of one (1) Three Yard Wheel Loader in the amount of $131,382.32 from the State of California Office of Procurement under the Califomia Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) Contract #4-98-38-0004A. Background The Public Works Services Department has a 1986 Wheel Loader which is scheduled for replacement. This loader is heavily used on a daily basis for loading material, concrete, , asphalt, trash, and scrap metal. Staff evaluated different makes and models of wheel loaders and after several on site demonstrations, staff agrees that the John Deere 544J Wheel loader meets the needs of the Public Works Services Department. The John Deere Loader offers improved safety features, lower maintenance requirements, and better maneuverability than other comparable loaders included in the evaluation. Alternative Not approving the purchase of this Wheel Loader would impact the operational requirements of the Public Works Services Department. Their existing Wheel Loader is extremely worn from heavy daily use. It would not be economically sound to invest in the continued repair of this loader due to its current age and condition. Cooperative purchasing provisions under Redwood City Code Section 2.80 make it possible for the City to benefit from larger volume purchases. Fleets using these provisions realize a significant savings from prevailing fleet prices. Fiscal Impact Funds for the purchase of this replacement Wheel Loader was approved by City Council in the FY 2004/05 Equipment Replacement Fund Budget in the amount of $130,000. The remaining balance of $1,382.32 will initially be financed from retained earnings in the Equipment Replacement Fund. This amount will be subsequently recovered from the operating budget of the user department through the vehicle replacement charges in future years. ~ í3o~~'ê7J ~ &-.?- /., í/d., r-:r- OiøL La Barwacz ter Ingr Ed Everett Public Works Superintendent Public Works Services Director City Manager Attachment: None -.,. ..
