Greendale approves purchase of Bobcat MT120 mini skid‑steer with parks contributing $15,000
Summary
The board approved acquisition of a Bobcat MT120 mini skid‑steer with attachments for multi‑department use; parks pledged $15,000 toward the $42,262.53 package, leaving an estimated civil‑city share of about $28,163.20.
The Greendale Board approved the purchase of a Bobcat MT120 mini skid‑steer with a 36‑inch bucket, 50‑inch bucket and a trencher attachment, intended for cross‑departmental use by civil city and parks staff. The total quoted package price discussed in the meeting was $42,262.53. The parks department agreed to contribute $15,000 toward the purchase and to cover the cost of a stump grinder attachment if purchased separately, leaving an estimated civil‑city share of approximately $28,163.20.
Board members emphasized the machine’s broader utility beyond rare snow events — for mulch and material handling, small grading tasks and playground maintenance — and discussed attachment selection, warranty lengths and the need to maintain and responsibly use the equipment. The board approved the purchase by voice vote and authorized staff to proceed with procurement per the Sourcewell contract pricing referenced by staff.
Next steps: staff will finalize the equipment order and coordinate cost allocation with the parks department.
