MEMORANDUM 
 
TO:  Deb Wallace, City Manager  
   
FROM:  Ben Burchfield, Public Works Director 
 
DATE:  May 8, 2024 
 
SUBJECT: Mack Front-loader Equipment Replacement  
 
The Public Works Department is requesting Council approval for purchase of a replacement 
front-loader for the Sanitation Division . The front-loader is currently on a 4-year useful-life 
cycle. A sset # 4056 was purchased in  May 2012  for $ 204,393.00. Staff continued to use the 
vehicle beyond the anticipated end- of-useful-life as a new er truck purchased in 2016 had a 
catastrophic failure and was listed as surplus  and sold in-lieu of repair. This necessitated 
keeping the truck longer than anticipated in order to maintain operations. 
 
The Department recommends replacement via purchase of a Mack Terrapro New -Way front-
loader for $ 344,733.00. This price includes delivery of the equipment  to the Public Works 
facility. This vehicle is being purchased through Sourc ewell Contract 060920-NAF. The chassis is 
tentatively slated to be built Q3 this  calendar year, and upfitting to follow . We antic ipate 
receipt of the vehicle Q1 2025. 
 
After receipt of the equipment, inspection, and addition to the City’s insurance coverage, asset 
#4056 is to be listed as surplus and sold on GovDeals.
