Purchase of One Compact Track Loader (Replacement) for the Transportation Department (Citywide)
This compact track loader will be a versatile piece of equipment that will enhance multiple Field Operations work groups. The primary use will be storm drain maintenance, which includes cleaning channels, mowing, and vegetation removal. In addition, this track loader can be used as a back-up for the alley clean-up program, right-of-way maintenance and any other areas where larger equipment is not an option. The skip loader that is being replaced has met established criteria and will be either traded, auctioned, sold, or deployed to special uses.
The Fleet Services and Transportation Departments and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the Omnia Partners through the City of Tucson cooperative contract with Empire CAT (a Mesa business), at $119,127.86. This purchase is funded by the Local Streets Fund.
