17 <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pLEASANTO\ <br /> December 20, 2022 <br /> Operations Services <br /> TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE A VOLVO <br /> COMPACT WHEEL LOADER FROM VOLVO CONSTRUCTION <br /> EQUIPMENT & SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT OF $170,425 <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The City is in need of a new construction backhoe to replace the current 24-year old <br /> 1998 Caterpillar backhoe. A backhoe is vital for maintenance tasks such as loading <br /> dump trucks and trailers. Most construction backhoes have a useful life of 20 years <br /> and/or 5,000 hours of use. The current unit (Unit #238) is a 1998 Caterpillar 416C 2X4 <br /> backhoe with 3,962 hours of use and has experienced a variety of mechanical issues <br /> for which $45,906.72 has been spent on maintenance to date. The current backhoe is <br /> scheduled for replacement as part of the City's 20-year replacement plan. <br /> As well, the current backhoe has a Tier 1 CARB rating, which is not in compliance with <br /> CARB (California Air Resources Board), so replacement will help meet the CARB's <br /> diesel-powered regulations. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Authorize the the City Manager to purchase a Compact Wheel Loader with Volvo <br /> Equipment & Services in the amount of $170,425.00, which includes a 15 percent <br /> contingency. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> This purchase is budgeted and funded within the Internal Service Fund - Equipment <br /> Replacement (514) in FY 2022/23. The purchase price is $148,196.14 including delivery <br /> and taxes; adding a 15 percent contingency brings the total to $170,425. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
