Consider Replacement of 2007 John Deere 710 Tractor Backhoe with 2015 Doosan DX140W Wheeled Excavator with Pavement Breaker and Plate Tamper. City Manager Lotter indicated Community Assets and Development Director Scli ichting would be presenting this item to the Council. Community Assets and Development Director Schlichting reported Public Works excavates 25 water main breaks annually on average, and uses two tractor backhoes to complete this task. One small tractor backhoe, a 310 John Deere model, does the digging, and a 710 John Deere does the frost breaking and the tamping. This works on a majority of the water main breaks, but there are times where our small tractor backhoe will not do the job due to depth or space constraints, like digging in an alley or needing to only take up one lane of traffic. A wheeled excavator will do the job where the small tractor backhoe will not. The 2007 John Deere 710 tractor backhoe is not slated to be replaced until 2019. The cost estimated to replace it in 2019 is $163,800. There is a balance of $119,600 that is budgeted to date for the replacement of that unit and an additional $7,700 for the frost breaker (for a total of $127,300). Even though this piece of equipment is being replaced early, with this purchase a savings of $28,508 would be realized. Staff indicated the purpose of this item is to obtain Council authorization to purchase a 2015 Doosan DX140W Wheeled excavator and recommended the Council enter into an agreement with Lano Equipment to purchase this unit.
