SUBJECT

The Public Utilities Board recommends approval (7-0).
Body
FILE INFORMATION
This item is an addition for the Solid Waste Department and will be used as part of their upcoming mining operation. The unit that staff is recommending is a demonstration (demo) model that currently has 800 hours of use. The equipment will have the same warranty as a new unit and will be fully serviced by the vendor prior to the City of Denton accepting delivery. Quotes were obtained from four (4) vendors-two (2) Cooperative Purchase Program vendors and two (2) non-contract vendors (Exhibit 1). Staff requested quotes on demo models with up to 1000 hours of use but Holt CAT was the only vendor with a demo unit that met specifications. Staff is recommending the purchase of the demo equipment quoted by Holt CAT due to an $83,349.75 savings over the newer CAT model. There is also a $62,060.38 savings over the next lowest quote. The demo equipment is also immediately available so there will be no order lead time. The materials handler will be purchased through the National IPA Cooperative Purchasing Network Contract# 120377.
