FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 16, 2021
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF A HUSQVARNA 26" CONCRETE
SAW
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of a Husqvarna 26"
concrete saw from Kirby Smith Machinery for the Public Works
Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Utility Enterprise Fund for a total amount not to
exceed $32,087.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to replace the Public Works Department's 16-year-old
30SW6 concrete saw. This saw can no longer be repaired as parts are not
available. This saw is a large, walk -behind concrete saw and is used in
daily operations for water main and sewer line repairs under concrete and
asphalt streets and sidewalks.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative
(BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271
and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Kirby
Smith Machinery. The Public Works Department and Purchasing staff
reviewed the contract for departmental specification compliance and
pricing and determined that the contract would provide the best service
and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
