The authority approved payment of invoice TM418-seven from Warren Cat to repair a backhoe, after the utility's mechanic found additional damage.
The Veneta Utilities Authority approved payment of invoice TM418-seven to Warren Cat for $6,771.50 to repair the utility's backhoe.
Justice Smith, the BUA water superintendent, told the authority a mobile Cat mechanic inspected the machine after the foot pedal stopped working, and the repair revealed more problems than initially expected. Smith said the crew had the mechanic “fix it,” and noted that the backhoe is now in better shape, including a working air conditioner.
Motion by Board member Tyler, second by Board member Riley, carried on a voice vote and the invoice was approved. The meeting record did not include a discussion of alternate procurement options or whether the repair cost will be charged to a specific maintenance account.
No further details on warranty, replacement options, or longer-term equipment plans were provided in the public discussion.
