To approve the purchase of a Caterpillar 980M Wheel Loader from Milton Cat in
Londonderry New Hampshire for $489,900 pursuant to the Sourcewell contract
#032515-CAT pending bond approval and the purchase and installation of radio

Quotes and Specification Sheets, vehicle service history
This is a planned FY22 CERF purchase for the Solid Waste Department.
Currently in use is a 2013 John Deere 844K Wheel Loader with approximately
14500 hours and is used for loading trailers with construction debris and cover
material throughout the day. This loader is having more breakdown from age and
hours of use and is becoming unreliable as more repairs and longer down times
have been occurring.
This purchase of a Caterpillar 930M Wheel Loader will come with a 7 % yard
bucket and a 16 foot snow pusher for use cleaning the landfill parking lot and
traffic areas and updated safety options not available previously.
The new loader will come with a 5 year powertrain, hydraulic and technology
warranty.
The old loader will be used in a backup capacity during maintenance routines
until no longer economically feasible to repair.
