FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JUNE 1, 2021
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF A THREE -YARD CONCRETE
MIXER FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of a three -yard
concrete mixer from Mini -Mixer, LLC for the Public Works Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Street Maintenance/Capital Replacement Fund
for a total amount not to exceed $34,650.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for a custom-built, skid mount three cubic yard concrete
drum mixer for use by the Public Works Street Division. The drum will be
mounted on an existing F750 chassis (Unit 15138). While this concrete
mixer is smaller than the typical 10 cubic yard mixer, it meets most of the
department's daily pour requirements, eliminates scheduling issues with
third party concrete deliveries, and will have better access into tight work
sites.
Funding for this purchase comes from proceeds of the sale of Public
Works volumetric concrete truck (Unit 31210) authorized for auction on
April 6, 2021.
This procurement will be made as a sole source in accordance with Local
Government Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, § 252.022. General
Exemptions (a)(7)(A).
Staff recommends approval.
