Select Board reviews multiple skid-steer bids, asks staff for comparison
Summary
Board members reviewed competing bids for a new skid-steer loader and attachments, with quoted prices ranging from about $55,003 to $70,000; staff will compile a comparison spreadsheet and bring a recommendation next week.
The Select Board reviewed multiple bids for a skid-steer loader and attachments and asked staff to produce a comparison spreadsheet for a final decision next week. Staff member (speaker 3) presented proposals from several vendors and outlined key warranty and accessory differences.
"Milton Katz, after their discount, $64,095," Staff member said while summarizing the first bid. Representatives described warranty options and the difference in lift capacity between quoted models; one vendor listed a 24-month/2,000-hour warranty as standard. Board members asked staff to verify whether accessories (forks, pushers) were included in each quoted total and to present a side-by-side apples-to-apples pricing table at the next meeting.
The board did not take a final procurement vote. Staff will return with a spreadsheet that itemizes base price, attachments, and warranty options for each vendor.
