Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date:February 13, 2006
To: Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From: W.C. Casey, Public Works Director
Agenda Item: 2006 Model G990 Volvo Motor Grader
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
:
The Public Works Department, as a portion of the 2006 Budget, scheduled the replacement of the
City’s 1982 Caterpillar 140G motor grader. The Public Works Street Department desires to purchase
a 2006 Volvo Motor Grader, utilizing the State of Alaska’s “Cooperative Purchasing” (piggy back)
option. The State of Alaska has contracted with CMI (Construction Machinery Inc.) to provide motor
graders for a period of three (3) years.
Seward City Code 6.10.120(b) allows the city to utilize competitive bids obtained by other
governmental units without the need to solicit its own bids. After considerable research, the Public
Works Department has found the State contract price with CMI the best value for the City of Seward.
Maintenance costs and reliability issues with the 1982 Caterpillar 140G motor grader have indicated
that this machine needs to be replaced now. Attached you will find the specifications for the Volvo
G990 motor grader we desire to purchase. Please note that the purchase of a Rockland 455A “sloper”
has been added as an option to the base price which is Two Hundred Thirty Nine and Seventy-eight
Dollars ($239,078.00). The base price including a sloper is Two Hundred Ninety Seven, Three
Hundred Ninety-five Dollars ($297,395.00). The sloper will allow for greater efficiency in the
maintenance of ditches and Right of Ways.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Where applicable, this agenda statement is consistent with the Seward City Code, Charter,
Comprehensive Plans, Land Use Plans, Strategic Plan and City Council Rules of Procedures.
Other: _______________________________________________________________________
FISCAL NOTE:
The purchase of the 2005 Volvo G990 with a sloper will be made from the Motor Pool Fund,
Account Code 102-1020-5930.
Approved by Finance Department: ________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Council authorize the City Manager to purchase a Volvo G990 Motor Grader from CMI, including a
sloper, at a cost not to exceed ($297,395.00). The funds necessary to purchase the equipment will
come from the Motor Pool Equipment fund retained earnings account 102-1020-5930.
