Body
BACKGROUND:
Fleet Services is requesting the purchase of one (1) concrete saw from ASCO. On average concrete saws have a 4-6 year life expectancy. This unit has been in service for over 4 years and has required $10,795.68 in repairs. The concrete saw currently faces a major engine failure. The City currently has 2 similar concrete saws and is covering the shortage from other departments. The estimated cost of repair is $12-15,000.00. The Street department uses this unit often, working on repairing roads across the City.
For competitive purposes, quotes were requested from multiple vendors. Options for replacement were received from ASCO and Kirby-Smith. Based off the performance quality and overall build, fleet recommends the Husqvarna saw, purchased from ASCO through a BuyBoard agreement.
