Title
Consideration of and action on authorization to purchase a Skid Steer Loader for the Sanitation Department through the Houston-Galveston Area Council Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Body
Summary: The Sanitation Department is requesting the purchase of a new Skid Steer Loader as a replacement for a 2003 Skid Steer with 1,990 hours used.
Vendor: Associated Supply Co, Inc.
Cost: $56,186
Included in the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Budget is the amount of $29,900 for the lease-purchase financing of this equipment. Because the cost of the Skid Steer is much lower than estimated, the City will submit a request to amend the budget in order to pay the total cost of the Skid Steer during the current fiscal year at time of purchase rather than financing the purchase over several years.

A budgeted amount of $29,900 is included in the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Sanitation Department Budget, Account No. 10-402-4907, Large Trucks/ Heavy Rolling Stock.
Recommended action: Approval to purchase a Skid Steer Loader for the Sanitation Department through the Houston-Galveston Area Council Cooperative Purchasing Program.
