Attachment D <br />Recommended Heavy Equipment Replacements <br />Asset 85214 Bobcat Mini Excavator Asset 85204- 2000 Case Backhoe <br />Estimated replacement cost- $130,000 Estimated replacement cost- $182,000 <br />Estimated resale return- $25,000 Estimated resale return- $15,000 <br />Current Hours- 1200 Current Hours- 3,562 <br />Recommendation - <br />Replace the 2011 Bobcat Mini Excavator and the 2000 Case Backhoe for one Cat Mini <br />Excavator. <br />• Due to PW operational changes over the last 15 — 20 years, a mini excavator has <br />taken the place of the Case backhoe to complete small utility structure repairs, <br />operating forestry attachments, and street patching/ asphalt preparations. <br />• Large excavations are generally part of a large contracted project or an emergency, <br />such as a watermain break. <br />• The vital pieces of heavy equipment needed by Public Works are- <br />o Front End Loader, Mini -excavator w/ attachments, and a skid steer w/ attachments. <br />Purchase a Caterpillar 2027 Mini 306 CR Excavator w/ buckets (state contract budget <br />price- $130,000) <br />• This machine is slightly larger than our current Mini Excavator. The larger size would <br />improve the operation of attachments, lifting, and reach capacity. Our trailer fleet <br />can accommodate transporting this excavator. <br />(Note: This recommendation is based on Council approval to replace the 1993 Case <br />Loader.) <br />
