Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one John Deere model 320P HL backhoe for $160,032.39, one NPK breaker for $14,400.00, and one NPK compactor for $9,900.00, for a total cost of $184,332.39 through the State of Michigan MiDeal cooperative purchasing contract #240000000158 for use by the Public Services Area, Public Works Unit, Storm Utility operations.
The backhoe listed in this resolution will replace an existing 2016 John Deere model 310SL HL backhoe (#2774) with 3,010 hours of use and is beyond its useful life. Also being replaced is a 2014 Kent breaker (#2941). The compactor being ordered will be new to the Fleet. The Public Works Unit uses this backhoe in its storm utility department to repair and maintenance the City's storm water infrastructure. This backhoe will be replaced with a diesel-powered unit. Fully electric backhoes are still relatively new to the market, and there is not yet enough information available to determine how they will perform during all-day use.
