City plans Sourcewell cooperative purchase of compact track loader for street department at about $87,900
Summary
Purchasing Director Laurie Sadler told the council the city will buy a compact track loader for the street department through the Sourcewell cooperative for $87,900, to be funded from budget capital savings across several departments.
Laurie Sadler, the city's purchasing director, briefed the council on a planned purchase of a compact track loader for the street department.
Sadler said the machine would be purchased through the Sourcewell national cooperative at a price discussed in the study session (presented as $87,900) and that the purchase would be paid from savings in budget capital items for the street, solid waste and stormwater departments. "This is a result of your budget workshop, to be, paid for with the savings from budget capital items for the street, solid waste, and stormwater departments," Sadler said.
The study session discussion did not record a formal motion or vote on the purchase; staff presented the procurement for council awareness and asked if there were questions.
Why it matters: The equipment purchase affects the street department's capacity to perform public-works tasks and is funded from reallocations of capital-savings identified during the city's budget process. The transcript does not include a contract award resolution or formal vote.
