No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The 2025 Fleet Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the replacement of a 2010 CAT 305CCR mini excavator. This
piece of equipment is an integral part of storm water maintenance in addition to being utilized by all departments on
a variety of projects. Staff recommend that the current excavator be replaced with the next size larger which offers
better reach, break-out force and lifting capabilities.
Staff obtained state contract pricing from Ziegler CAT for a CAT 306 Mini Hydraulic Excavator in the amount of
$94,513.92, which is within the amount budgeted of $106,129 in the CIP. The vendor has provided a trade-in quote
for the current equipment in the amount of $34,500, which staff recommend accepting.
The Public Works Subcommittee reviewed this request at their April 2025 meeting and provided a recommendation
for consideration of approval by the City Council.
