Kubota Utility Cart Replacement - Purchase and Delivery
History
The Village’s existing Kubota Utility Cart #4176 is rusted through in many places and has reached the end of its service life. The unit was purchased in 2012 and is one of three Kubota units owned by the Village. The Public Works and Recreation Departments utilize these utility carts for numerous activities, including sidewalk snow clearing and material hauling. Utility carts such as this have proved invaluable in clearing long stretches of sidewalks and paths of snow. It also cuts down on potential back injuries and comp time off due to heavy snow removal for long stretches of paths/sidewalks.
The Public Works Department included a new utility cart in the 2020 budget. A proposal was requested from Martin Implement, who is a local provider of Kubota equipment, utilizing Sourcewell Cooperative contract 062117-KBA. The proposed utility cart includes a snow blade for pushing snow, as well as a salt spreader, which will quickly make it the most efficient and versatile snow management utility vehicle that the Village owns.
As such, Staff is requesting approval to utilize Sourcewell Cooperative contract 062117-KBA and award the purchase and delivery of one (1) Kubota RTV-X1100 Utility Vehicle to Martin Implement of Orland Park, IL for an amount not to exceed $27,627.09.
Financial Impact
The replacement of Kubota Utility Cart Replacement #4176 was budgeted for in 2020 under account 010-5006-470300.
