COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
FOR MEETING OF: $ 24 76
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Authorizing purchase of used grader
No. 8301
SUBMITTED BY Purchasing Agent
ITEM EXPLANATION
The 1976-77 budget provides the amount of $21,200 for the purchase of a used road
grader to replace two old (1954 and 1956) graders.
The local heavy construction equipment vendors were contacted regarding availability
of a used grader. One vendor in Lakeside was the only one with. a grader for sale.
The unit was inspected and found to be in poor mechanical condition. After further
investigation, a grader was located in El Cajon. The firm of Napier Construction is
in the process of selling their equipment and going out of business. The grader is
a 1964 Caterpillar Model 12-99. The unit was inspected by the Street Maintenance
Superintendent and Public Works Supervisor and found to be in good mechanical condition.
The grader cost is $17,500.
Purchase of used equipment is not conducive to the normal process of requesting bids
for a limited time. Equipment must be located first and physical inspection made to
insure that the equipment is acceptable. Used graders are not readily available on
the market. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Purchasing Agent and Public
Works Director, pursuant to Section 2.56.170 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, that
the bidding process be waived and that the purchase of the used grader from Napier
Construction be authorized.
