Board of Public Works Meeting Date:
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent Solid Waste Department
Purchase of a Caterpillar 330 F L Excavator
To approve the purchase of a Caterpillar 330 F L Excavator from Milton Cat in
Londonderry NH for $221,540 pursuant to the NJPA contract #032515-CAT.
Funding will be through Department: 168 Solid Waste; Fund: Trust; Activity:
CERF.
Quotes and Specification Sheets.
The Solid Waste Department utilizes a hydraulic excavator daily at the Four Hills
Landfill for loading construction debris into trailers, cover material into the end
dump, and raise gas well heads. The current excavator has operated
approximately 6000 hours. Although the excavator is in fair condition it is
showing its age with more frequent repairs and downtime, the turntable which it
rotates on is worn and starting to leak hydraulic oil, this is a major repair.
The new excavator will be similar in kind as the current one. It will be equipped
with an extended arm which will help with loading tall trailers and trucks. It will
have an extended warranty of 60 months or 5000 hours on the hydraulics and
powertrain. The current excavator will be traded to Milton Cat in the purchase.
