ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) <br />approved the engineering proposal from DSS Engineers, <br />Inc. in the amount of $5,488 and authorized the <br />Utility Department to advertise for bids for the <br />reverse osmosis water plant electrical grounding <br />improvements. <br />PURCHASE OF SANITARY LANDFILL WHEEL LOADER <br />Utilities Director Pinto reviewed the following memo: <br />TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 1985 <br />COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF SANITARY <br />LANDFILL WHEEL LOADER <br />FROM: TERRANCE Gi'^'Pr.'9i,, RECTOR <br />DIVISION OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The landfill has a Fiat Crawler that has worn out and must be replaced. <br />This crawler has limited use and we feel that if it is replaced with a <br />rubber tire front end loader, a used machine in good shape will do the same <br />job. This machine will be used for moving trees and vegetation debris to <br />the air curtain for burning and cleaning the inside of the burner out. <br />It has been difficult finding a used machine in good enough repair to <br />purchase. As soon as we located one, it would sell before we managed to <br />get proper Commission approval. We have now found a machine that fits our <br />needs and have used it at the landfill on a trial basis for a month. The <br />price is lower than other quotes we have received. <br />Two current quotations received for wheel loaders are listed below: <br />1. Ring Power Corporation submitted a quotation for a wheel loader and <br />rake in the amount of $40,500.00, a used 1980 Caterpillar 930 wheel <br />loader, SIN 79JO9547, equipped with 2-1/4 cubic yard bucket and 17.5 X <br />25 tires, and a 930 stacking rake. The net price quoted on this <br />vehicle includes a $10,000.00 trade in allowance for one used Fiat <br />model 14B, SIN 12324. <br />2. Stack Equipment submitted a quotation for a wheel loader and rake in <br />the amount of $38,000.00, a used 1984 Clark/Michigan Model 45C wheel <br />loader SIN 473C297CB equipped with a GM 4-53 Diesel Engine, 2 Yd. <br />Bucket with bolt on cutting edge and spillguard, ROPS, <br />CWT,17.5X25(L-2) Tires, and new standard loader rake #LR -1890-3-785. <br />The net price quoted on this vehicle includes a $20,000.00 trade in <br />allowance for one used Fiat model 14B, SIN 12324. <br />70 <br />SEP 2.5 <br />BOOK Fa GE <br />I <br />
