REQUEST: The Utility Department is Requesting Authorization to Purchase One (1) Medium
duty Tractor by Piggybacking off of State Contract #765-900-04-1.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request authorization to piggyback off of State
Contract #765-900-04-1 for the purchase of one (1) 5435 Massey Ferguson Medium duty 4
wheel drive tractor at a cost of $30,600.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
This additional equipment is needed to maintain effluent disposal sites in proper
working condition during wet periods. Currently, work on these sites is delayed as wet
weather impedes our ability to perform at these sites with the two wheel drive tractors we
now have. The State of Florida has already received bids for the tractor being considered
under Bid #ITB-6-070-840-P, contract #765-900-04-1, commodity # 765-900-376 awarded
4/25/04. The tractor requested for purchase is a Massey Ferguson 5435, 4 wheel drive with
cab that will be used to till and disc percolation ponds and maintain vegetation at spray
fields. The price for the Utility Department tractor is $30,600.00
FUNDING:
This equipment purchase was budgeted at $29,000 in the Utility Enterprise Fund,
however, there are sufficient funds remaining in this machinery account due to savings from
other equipment to cover the additional $1,600. The $30,600 will be charged to the Utility
Department Machinery line code (3600-64400). Expenditure of the funds will occur within
90 to 120 days.
