Submitted by:	Dave Bunt, Parks & Recreation
Department:	Parks & Recreation

Information

Subject

Approval for the purchase of a Bobcat compact excavator under State Contract (SWC 219)

Background

The Equipment Replacement Fund budget for FY 2021 includes the purchase of a compact excavator unit to be used by the Parks and Recreation Department. The compact excavator will be used primarily by maintenance crews in repairing water lines, irrigation repairs, drainage improvements and trail maintenance at Smith Park. The cost is $48,813.30 which is less than the $50,000 budgeted.

Staff did solicit informal price quotes from other dealers for this same piece of equipment, and it was clear that the State contract price was lower than the City could expect to receive if bids were solicited for the equipment directly. Attached is the State contract with the quote as well as a picture of the equipment.

The vendor who was awarded this statewide contract (SWC #219) is Gateway Bobcat LLC, d/b/a/ Bobcat of Nashville. This purchase will allow the Parks Department to more efficiently make repairs and maintain our parks.

Please contact Dave Bunt, Parks Director, if you have any questions.
