BACKGROUND

The Public Works Department has two (2) backhoes that currently meet the City’s guidelines for replacement and were approved through the Fiscal Year 20/21 budget process.

Staff recommends piggybacking on the results of a recent Sourcewell competitive bid program, Contract #032119-JDC. The results deemed Coastline Equipment Co. as the lowest responsive bid.
