DISCUSSION: The Transportation and Public Works Department will use this equipment to maintain stormwater drainage channels throughout the City. The design and size of this mini excavator provides the unique capability of working in the restricted space of drainage channels. This unit is an addition to the City's fleet and allows the City to increase specialized channel maintenance. This equipment meets required specifications and will operate satisfactorily during its service life. Warranty information, manufacturer's statement of origin and original sales invoices will accompany the equipment upon delivery to the Southside Service Center at 4100 Columbus Trail. PRICE ANALYSIS -The City does not have a purchase history for this piece of equipment. A smaller mini excavator was approved by the City Council on January 4, 2005 (M&C P-10068). The price was obtained using TASB Contract No. 345-10. The bid price is discounted 10 percent off the Manufacturers Suggested List Price (MSLP). Staff has reviewed the pricing and determined it to be fair and reasonable. COOPERATIVE CONTRACT -State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item. TASB contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas. M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Logname: 13P11-0101 MINI EXCAVATOR EJH Page I of 2 Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval, of the above recommendations and adoption of the supplemental appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current operating budget as appropriated of the Stormwater Utility Fund. Upon approval the unaudited, available cash balance in the Stormwater Utility Fund will be above the minimum reserve requirement by the City's Financial Management Policy Statements.
