Caterpillar Certified Rebuild for Compactor #052
To approve a contract with Milton Cat of Londonderry, NH to perform a
Caterpillar Certified Rebuild to the Solid Waste compactor #052 for a cost not to
exceed $500,000. Funding will be through: Department: 168 Solid Waste; Fund:
Solid Waste; Activity; CERF.
Service History for Compactor #052
Compactor #052 is a 1999 Caterpillar 826G with approximately 17,000 hours.
Compactor #052 has been out of service since September 2018 due to major
engine, hydraulic and electrical harness failures. #052 was the backup compactor
for Compactor #080 until the time of the failures. Attempts were made using the
Dozer at the land fill as a backup during times of maintenance and repairs to
#080. The Dozer does not have the weight or compaction required for this
function.
Milton Cat of Londonderry has proposed a Caterpillar Certified Rebuild for
compactor #052. The Caterpillar Certified Rebuild entails striping the compactor
down to the base frame. Then performs rebuilds to the engine and driveline,
replace all hydraulic hoses and cylinders, replace electrical harnesses, recondition,
paint, reseal and check every component for proper function and operation. The
operators cab and rebuilt wheels are also included in the certified rebuild.
This will bring the compactor to a like new appearance and operational ability at a
significant savings over the purchase of a new compactor.
The proposal from Milton Cat includes a 4 year / 6000 hour warranty and all
scheduled service maintenance for the warranty period.
