One CASE front-end loader for the Engineering and Public Works Department was approved for replacement with the FY 24/25 Vehicle Replacement Plan. This unit is used to load various materials including salt, millings, and debris. It also runs the airport broom during snow and ice removal operations. This unit, shown on the attached scorecard, has met the replacement category “Needs Immediate Consideration”. A committee of Village employees determined the requirements for this new loader that will best serve the Water Division.
Staff received a quote for $212,634, but this does not include locked-in pricing for the auto lube system. We won't know that exact cost until the unit is delivered to McCann, as they partner with a separate vendor for this work. To cover all costs, staff is requesting the full budgeted amount of $229,112.
Staff recommends purchasing this loader from McCann Industries, utilizing Sourcewell Contract #032119-CNH-1. This loader is budgeted for FY 24/25, but may arrive in FY 25/26. Upon receiving the new loader, the old loader will be auctioned through Public Surplus Auction website. Staff estimates being able to recoup between $30,000-$35,000 for this unit.
