<br />Staff looked carefully at the purchase of second-hand equipment. However, the state <br />pricing would no longer apply to used equipment. The initial cost actually increased. <br />The state replacement program would no longer be applicable. The future <br />maintenance cost would be assumed by the golf course as the used skid loader would <br />not be part of the trade back program and ongoing annual warranty. <br /> <br />The Kabota trade in value was $9,000. Staff has received an offer to purchase the 1998 <br />Kabota for $ 10,600 from an interested party. <br /> <br /> The Golf Course staff quote is as follows: <br /> <br /> Bobcat loader (S185 Model) $ 22,098.00 <br /> Less Sale of 1998 Kabota Tractor ($10,600) <br />Sub Total $ 11,498.00 <br />Sales Tax $ 1436.37 <br /> TOTAL $ 12,936.37 <br /> <br />The Public Works Department and the Golf Course discussed the opportunity to share a <br />skidsteer. However, the demand time by each department coincides with each other. It <br />would not be feasible to make that an option. If approved, the unit will be purchased under <br />state contract and will retain a full one-year warranty. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of a S185 Model Bobcat <br />skidsteer loader, to be purchased under state contract in the amount of $23,534.37. It is <br />also requested the Council and approve the sale of the 1998 Kabota Tractor. The sale <br />price is at $10,6000.00. The payment of the balance of $12,936,37 to Tri-State Bobcat. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mary Burg <br />Golf Course Manager <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
