Title
Fleet Purchase Authorization - John Deere 410L Backhoe
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends that City Commission authorize the purchase of a John Deere 410L Backhoe (Replacing Existing Backhoe). The price of the equipment is $115,489.36.00 and was a previously authorized expenditure within the FY17/18 Biannual budget.
BACKGROUND:
Oregon City fleet purchases are managed through our Fleet Replacement Fund. Every year, each Public Works Division (PWD) budgets a predetermined amount for deposit into the Fleet Replacement Account to assure adequate funding is available when new, or replacement vehicles are scheduled for purchase. This particular asset will serve as the third generation that the City has acquired. There is sufficient funding within the Fleet Replacement Fund to allow Public Works Operations to fund and support the replacement asset. The existing backhoe will be liquidated through government auction and the funds used to defer the overall replacement cost.
For this purchase staff is utilizing the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), an inter-governmental joint purchasing program, administered by the State of Minnesota. The purchasing program complies with all state procurement requirements set forth under ORS §279A.220 and the City of Oregon City is a registered signatory to the NJPA agreement.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Amount: $115,489.36.00
