Title
Resolution to Approve the Purchase of Two Backhoes from AIS Construction Equipment Corp. (State of Michigan MiDeal Contract $195,792.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of two 2016 John Deere model 310SL HL backhoes at $97,896.00 each for a total cost of $195,792.00 through the 2016 State of Michigan's MiDeal cooperative purchasing contract (contract # 071B1300116).
One backhoe will replace a 1999 backhoe used in the Storm Water System maintenance operations. The loader has been in service for 17 years and has 4,369 hours of operation. Over its service life it has averaged 0.39 breakdowns per month and the total repair cost has exceeded 92% of the original purchase price.
The other backhoe will replace a 2003 backhoe used in the Water System maintenance operations. The loader has been in service for 13 years and has 4,675 hours of operation. Since the backhoe was not in the Fleet fund over the unit's full service life, the maintenance records are not complete.
Both backhoes will be equipped with Tier 4 diesel engines. The Tier 4 engine is the cleanest class of off road engine available. The purchase follows the goals and guidelines of the City's Green Fleet Policy.
