Title/Name/Summary
Backhoe Compactor Attachment - Purchase
History
The 2006/2007 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $8,500 in the Public Works Utility Division budget for the purchase of a vibratory compactor attachment for the Utilities Division backhoe. This compactor will help to shorten the restoration time of major utility repairs by compacting the backfill instead of having it settle on its own.
Although quotes were requested from two vendors for an Allied Hopac Model 1000-BSF Compactor, only one quote was received. Martin Implement Sales of Orland Park, Illinois (the local distributor), submitted a quote of $7,036 for an Allied Hopac Model 1000-BSF Compactor.
On September 10, 2007, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
