Title
Consideration of and action on approval to purchase a Grizzly machine for the Transfer Station from Crane Equipment Manufacturing, a sole source provider.
Body
Summary:
The Grizzly is a large, stationary, piece of equipment that is used to pack down garbage in a trailer. Our current Grizzly machine was purchased back in 2009 and at 15-years old. It is getting more costly to make repairs and purchase replacement parts for the existing equipment, therefore we budgeted for a replacement this fiscal year.
This purchase will be through Crane Equipment Manufacturing Company, which is a sole source vendor for this product. The cost of the Grizzly machine is $203,400.00.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
$215,000 was budgeted in the asset replacement account 091-402-49070 for this purchase.
Recommended action
Approve the purchase of a Grizzly machine for the Transfer Station from Crane Equipment Manufacturing, a sole source provider.
