March 7, 1988
TO: Mayor anVBoof Directors
FROM: Tom D Zf, ty Manager
SUBJ: Purc L andfill Compactor
BOARD ACTION RECOMMENDED: Approval of a resolution authorizing the City ,
Manager to purchase a Landfill Compactor from Rushing and Mason Company,
Inc., at the low bid price of $232,796 and further authorizing the transfer
of funds from Public Works Equipment Replacement and Maintenance Accounts
to augment the 1988 budget funds to accommodate the purchase.
DISCUSSION: The 1988 budget approved $310,000 for the purchase of a backup
Landfill Compactor and a replacement Scraper for the City Landfill. Two
events have modified our budget request.
1. A successful test of a Track Backhoe trenching operation was
completed in late 1987. This procedure will extend the life of
the Landfill by providing additional volume through trenching as
well as providing badly needed cover material for use throughout
the Landfill. We recommend the purchase of the Track Backhoe for
approximately $146,000, rather than replace the scraper for the
budgeted amount of $175,000.
2. A fire at the Landfill on December 28, 1987, severely damaged the
City's large compactor; the estimate for repair is $93,000. I
recommend that the Compactor be replaced rather than repaired. A
large compactor is needed in order to satisfy State requirements
and to permit us to get maximum life from the Landfill.
Additional funds will be needed to purchase a large Compactor
.rather than the small Compactor budgeted for this year.
I have evaluated several options and recommend the following:
1. By this Board action, authorize purchase of a replacement large
Compactor. An existing piece of equipment will act as backup for
this Compactor.
2. Authorize the transfer of $69,000 from Public Works Equipment
Replacement and Maintenance accounts to provide for needed funds
to accommodate these purchases.
3. Authorize the staff to ask for competitive bids for a Track
Backhoe, rather than a replacement Scraper.
