(C) REPAIR OF CATERPILLAR D7R BULLDOZER



It is requested that Council approve the repair of a bulldozer, Vehicle #10822,

in the amount of $60,221.46, as quoted by Yancey Brothers Company (Atlanta,

GA).



The engine on Vehicle #10822 failed due to age, and normal wear and tear. The

unit had a new set of tracks, rollers, and sprocket segments installed in

October of 2014 at a total cost of $20,000. The vehicle is over ten years

old.



The cost to replace this unit with a new Cat D7R Waste handler bulldozer is

$580,000; a new Cat D6R Waste handler bulldozer is $380,000. Additionally,

another bulldozer in the fleet, #10416, has recently had an engine failure,

which reduces the bulldozer equipment availability to fifty percent. These

vehicles are needed to push material and cover the landfill. The bulldozer

plays a critical part in maintaining the landfill and each day the vehicle is

down, landfill maintenance gets further behind. If either remaining bulldozer

breaks down at Granite Bluff or Pine Grove Landfill, Granite Bluff would have

to shut down operation in order to keep the Pine Grove Landfill operational.



Yancey Brothers is the authorized dealer in Georgia to sell and repair

Caterpillar engines. Therefore, the vendor is deemed an only known source per

the Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-114.



Funds are available in the FY16 Budget: Integrated Waste Fund ? Public Works ?

Pine Grove Landfill - Auto Parts and Supplies; 0207-260-3560-GARB-6721.
