Purchase of a Compact Wheel Loader (Addition) for the Transportation Department as requested by the Fleet Services Department (Citywide)
This new compact wheel loader will be utilized to support the citywide debris clean-up program created as a result of a Council initiative. The loader will allow a two-person crew to pick up debris in a safe and efficient manner and deposit material into the back of a rear-load refuse truck.
The Fleet Services and Transportation Departments, and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the Omnia Partners (formerly National IPA/City of Tucson) cooperative contract with Empire Southwest, LLC (a Mesa business), at $75,742.66. This purchase is funded by the Local Streets Fund.
