Melbourne staff to seek firm quotes to replace 25-year-old skid loader
Summary
Public Works reported the city's 25-year-old skid loader developed a leak and is likely uneconomical to repair; council authorized staff to seek hard quotes and return with a recommendation. Funding of $36,529.46 was identified from vehicle and road CDs.
Public Works Superintendent Jim Pfantz and PW Assistant Nathan Clark told the council the city's skid loader is about 25 years old, developed a leak last year, and likely would cost more to repair than to replace. They presented preliminary model options and suggested pursuing firm quotes.
Councilmember Gaege Bracy moved to obtain hard quotes and select a preferred model for presentation at the next meeting; Gary Fricke seconded the motion and the council approved it. Hauser arrived during this item at 7:56 p.m.
Clerk records provided a funding breakdown the staff cited: Vehicle CD $10,162.57, a 2022 addition of $8,000, and Roads CD $18,356.89, totaling $36,529.46. Staff will check low-cost financing and warranties as recommended by the council before final selection.
