Butler council approves emergency $175,936 purchase of CAT wheel loader
Summary
Council added and approved an emergency purchase from Cleveland Brothers for a CAT 920-14 small wheel loader under Costars contract 4400028102 for $175,936.00. The amendment to the agenda and the purchase were approved unanimously.
At the start of the Jan. 29 meeting, Mayor Robert A. Dandoy moved to amend the agenda to add an emergency equipment purchase and Councilman Douthett seconded. The council approved adding the item and then approved the emergency purchase of a CAT 920-14 small wheel loader from Cleveland Brothers for $175,936.00 under Costars contract 4400028102; the motion passed with all present voting aye.
Why it matters: the emergency procurement authorizes acquisition of heavy equipment the City considers necessary for operations; the minutes record the vendor, model, contract reference and price. The minutes do not provide additional detail on the operational need, replacement schedule, or funding source beyond the motion text.
Next steps: procurement and receiving processes will proceed per the City's procurement rules; the meeting minutes do not list delivery timelines or which department will take receipt.
