Council authorizes nearly $100,000 loader purchase for Utilities
Summary
Liberty approved buying a Takeuchi TL12 compact track loader for up to $99,800 to replace a unit at end of service life; staff said matching fleet models improves operator training and maintenance and approved motion passed 7-0.
The City Council approved the Utilities Operations Division’s request to buy a Takeuchi TL12 compact track loader from Kirby Smith Machinery, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $99,800. Utilities staff told the council the current machine reached the end of its service life and the replacement will reduce downtime and major repair costs.
Council noted the long-term benefits of operator familiarity, interchangeable attachments across the fleet, and a 5-year/5,000-hour extended warranty included in the purchase. The motion to approve the purchase passed 7-0. The minutes list the vendor as a participating BuyBoard cooperative provider, which staff said streamlines procurement.
