Title
Resolution to Authorize the Purchase of One Mini-Excavator from Alta Construction Equipment LLC (ITB# 4713 - $135,900.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one new Yanmar Model SV100-2B mini-excavator with two attachments at a total cost of $135,900.00 for use by the Public Services Area, Utilities Operations.

The two new attachments will replace an existing 2009 Cal Breaker (#2852) and an existing 2009 Hudco Compactor (#2853).

With its compact size, the unit is ideal for working in roads and right-of-ways while minimizing lane shut downs and traffic impact. The unit also has adequate reach for exposing most underground utility pipes while maintaining a small working footprint. This is a trailered piece of equipment and the existing trailer is in good shape and is not being replaced.
The City solicited bids for the mini-excavator through ITB# 4713 and five bids were received. The bid from Alta Construction Equipment LLC, Livonia, Michigan, was the only bid that fully complied with the specifications.
Alta Construction Equipment LLC complies with the requirements of the City's conflict of interest and non-discrimination ordinances.
