Agenda Title:

Council action is requested to issue a purchase order for $75,490.98 to Clark Equipment Co d/b/a KC Bobcat for a T770 T4 Bobcat Compact Track Loader for the Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department.

Recommendations:

Council approval to issue a purchase order.

Background:

The Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department currently has a loader that has been in service since 2003. The current loader needs to be replaced because it does not have the hydraulic capabilities necessary to be fully functioning. The Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department attempted to use the stump grinder on it and the machine shut down because hydraulics would not handle it anymore.

The purchase order, if approved, will be issued against the Missouri NASPO Construction - SW192 cooperative procurement contract. The cooperative purchasing provisions of paragraph 5 of the Independence City Code allows for the purchase of items competitively bid by other governmental entities.

Approval of this item authorizes the Finance Director to issue change orders up to a total of ten (10) percent of the original authorized amount, so long as appropriations are available.



Fiscal Impact:

The fiscal impact to the City is $75,490.98. Funding for the loader is included in the fiscal year 2021-22 adopted budget, page 119, project number E (9971 -C - - ) PARK Maint, account number E (7012-5406).
