Item No. 14-017
Date: November 25, 2013
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Bid Award for the Purchase of a Front End Loader
Responsible Department: Fleet Maintenance
Commentary:
On November 6, 2013 the City received three bids for a front end loader. The total "life cycle" cost
over a five year period ranged from $84,500 — $154,100 — see attached bid tabulation.
The "life cycle" bidding process guarantees a maximum cost of repairs over a five year period as
well as a buy back amount at the end of the five years. See bid tabulation for details.
On November 18, 2013, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved staff recommendation to
purchase the front end loader from Notrax in the amount of $182,000. At the end of the five years,
the City will have the option of keeping the machine or returning it to Nortrax for the guaranteed
buy back amount of $97,500.
The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over
$100,000.
