TITLE
'A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A FRONT -END LOADER
f FROM COLORADO MACHINERY IN THE AMOUNT OF $92,953
ISSUE
Should City Council approve a resolution authorizing the purchase of a front -end loader.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Due to the extreme winter storms of December 2006, the President of the United States
declared Colorado to be in emergency status and local governments were qualified to
receive public assistance funding from FEMA for three qualifying storms. The City of
Pueblo has been awarded approximately $98,000 and intends to use said funds to replace
a 34 7year old piece of equipment that no longer functions at full capacity and is
unreliable given our intensive loader needs.
This resolution will authorize the purchase of a 2006 John Deere 544J Four Wheel Drive
Loader.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project will be paid from Project Number CP0505 — Vehicle Replacement.
