Title
Resolution to Approve the Purchase of a Bobcat and Attachments from Diuble Equipment Inc. (Sourcewell - $91,477.06)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one Bobcat UW56 for $74,893.10, one Bobcat SP13 Spreader for $5,272.88, one Bobcat 72” V-Blade for $5,102.64, and one Bobcat 68” Angle Broom for $6,208.44, for a total cost of $91,477.06 through Sourcewell government cooperative purchasing program (#020223) for use by the Community Services Area, Parks Operation Unit.
The Bobcat listed in this resolution will replace an existing 2016 Bobcat 5600T (#6600) with 2,010 hours of use and is beyond its useful life. Also being replaced is a 2014 Curtis Spreader (#6472), a 2026 Bobcat 72” V-Blade (#6404), and a Bobcat 68” Angle Broom (#6364). The Parks Operations Unit uses this Bobcat to maintain the City’s parks and uses it for winter maintenance including snow and ice removal. This Bobcat will be replaced with a diesel-powered unit. There are currently no electric options on the market for this type of equipment.
Bobcat was awarded contract #020223 by the Sourcewell government cooperative purchasing program for compact construction equipment. Diuble Equipment Inc. of Ann Arbor, MI, is a dealer of record for Bobcat under this program.
Diuble Equipment Inc. complies with the requirements of the City’s Conflict of Interest and Non-Discrimination ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Adequate funding for the purchase of this equipment is available in the approved FY2027 Fleet Services Fund Operations and Maintenance budget.
This new Bobcat and attachments will be placed on a 7-year replacement schedule which is consistent with other equipment of this size. In addition to operating costs, Parks Operations will have an annual replacement cost of approximately $16,550.00, that will fund the eventual replacement of the asset.
Green Fleet Policy: The Green Fleet Committee approved the need for the replacement of this equipment, that the proposed replacement is consistent with the Green Fleet Policy and recommended the approval of this resolution. The Sustainability and Innovations Manager has concurred with the actions of the Committee.
