<br />Alternative #2
<br />Award bid to the cash purchase price bidder H.F. Mason (Huber Grader) in the
<br />amount of $59,980. The impact of this alternative includes:
<br />a. Purchasing a Grader with a lighter transmission and less steering
<br />capability.
<br />b. Re-training mechanics on this piece of equipment.
<br />c. Stocking parts which are not compatable with our existing stock.
<br />d. Possibly more down time than that which a Caterpillar Grader is
<br />characteristic. At 575.00 per hour, if the Grader is down 533 hours
<br />or 13 days a year, the County would suffer more cost than in purchasing
<br />the Caterpillar Grader.
<br />Front End Loader -
<br />Nine bids were received with 2 bidders submitting no bid. Of the seven bidders
<br />responding, only one bidder met all specifications, Kelly Tractor (Caterpillar).
<br />The cash purchase price bids and total cost bids are tabulated below and on the
<br />attached bid.tabulation sheet:
<br />Casio Purchase Price:
<br />Florida -Georgia Tractor (International) $ 76,900.00
<br />Kelly Tractor (Caterpillar) 115,299.00

<br />H.F. Mason (Trojan) 69,440.00
<br />Total Cost Sid:
<br />In considering both the total cost bid and the cash purchase price bid, the
<br />low bidder for the Front End Loader is Kelly Tractor (Caterpillar) with a
<br />total cost bid of $41,382.00. This bid requires an initial cost to the
<br />County of $117,259. However, the buy-back amount of $86,946 (present worth
<br />is $49,500 at 12% interest) and guaranteed cost of repairs ($11,069 over 5
<br />years) adjusts this cost to S41,382.
<br />Again, 98' of parts for Caterpillar are available in 1 day. It is extremely
<br />difficult to get parts for the Fiat -Allis and Furukawa (foreign), with excessive
<br />down time while waiting for parts. The availability of parts for the other
<br />brands is unknown. Some are metric, which would require the purchase of new tools.
<br />The County now has a rake, which G-rould be inter -changeable with the Caterpillar.
