AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE A 2019 CATERPILLAR 242 D SKID STEER FROM FABICK CATERPILLAR FOR THE BUILDING SERVICES DEPARTMENT

 Fiscal Impact: [ ] None [X] Budgeted Expenditure [ ] Not Budgeted

Background: Building Services is responsible for exterior maintenance and snow removal at seven (7) tower locations, the closed Sauk County Landfill, Historic Courthouse, Law Enforcement Center, and West Square Administration building. Building Services currently borrows a Case Skid Steer from the Parks department for snow removal during the winter months. Replacement parts are becoming hard to find for the Case 1845C Skid Steer. The Highway department is trading in a 2019 242D wheeled Skid Steer with 865 hours. The Facilities Director and Highway Commissioner talked with the Fabick Cat rep, who will allow Building Services to purchase the skid steer from Fabick Cat at the Highway Department’s trade in price. Building Services is getting a skid steer that was well maintained by the Highway department with 865 hours on it. The Skid Steer has an enclosed cab, heat and air conditioning which will better allow Building Services to more efficiently remove the snow in the winter months and get to many other exterior projects during the summer months. The Skid Steer also comes with a 74” bucket, and the ability to run a number of other attachments from the cab of the machine. The Facilities Director priced out new and other used machines, and recommends purchasing the 2019 242 D skid steer previously used by the Highway department for $31,500.00 from Fabick Cat. The Facilities Director also priced out a Midsota TB-20 trailer to transport the skid steer from several vendors and recommends the Big O’s Trailers Inc. price of $8,048.50. The total price for these purchases total $39,548.50

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors met in regular session, that the Building Services Facilities Director is hereby authorized to purchase a 2019 Caterpillar 242 D Skid Steer from Fabick Cat of Madison at a cost of 31,500.00, and a Midsota TB-20 trailer from Big O’s Trailers Inc. at a cost of $8,048.50 with a total price of $39,548.50;

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on March 16, 2021.

Respectfully submitted,

Sauk County Property Committee
