PURPOSE:
Consists of piggybacking off the competitively let Sourcewell Cooperative Agreement No. 032119-JDC to purchase two (2) 350 hp crawler dozers with warranties to move collected refuse on the working face of the landfill. This purchase was set to go before the BOC on July 26, 2022 but due to a glitch in the Legistar system, the agenda item was lost in transition and therefore not approved in time for the BOC meeting. The vendor is only able to hold the discounted price on these dozers for a limited amount of time. There would've been a 5% increase on August 1st for these machines and another 5% increase for any machine not delivered by November 1, 2022. This would've cost the department $160,000.00 more if the PO wasn't processed before August 1, 2022. Therefore, it was prudent and cost efficient to move forward with the purchase before August 1st. This request is to ratify the purchase of these units.
