FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 6, 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 Capital Projects Fund for a total amount not to
exceed $32,729.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to replace the Street Division's 20-year-old concrete saw.
This is a large walk behind saw. The saw is at the end of its useful life and
parts are no longer available. This unit is used in the daily operations for
streets and sidewalk repair, under asphalt, and concrete. This saw is also
used by other departments as needed.
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.
