Background:
Unit #7 is a Caterpillar Model 930 Wheel Loader, purchased in 1976, for $60,000 with a projected life expectancy of 2S years. The
loader is used in conjunction with the following attachments: 1-3/4 yard bucket, 12 foot Henke front mount snow plow, ] 0 foot
Wildcat Snow blower, and lifting forks.
Vehicle maintenance and repair records indicate that the engine was rebuilt in 1992 and that $14,500 has been spent on repairs for
Unit #7 within the last five years. The Shop Supervisor has rated the condition of the wheel loader as fair. The power of the unit has
decreased and parts are increasing difficult to find fora 31-year old piece of equipment. The Street Department Capital Equipment
Budget has allocated $125,000 for the replacement of Unit #7.
Analysis/Conclusions:
Public Works staff has carefully reviewed past, current and projected use of Unit #7. A summary of that review is as follows:
Unit #7 is over 30 years old and is the older of two wheel loaders owned by the City of Columbia Heights. Front-end loaders are
used extensively during snow plowing and snow removal operations. Unit #7 has not been the first line wheel loader since 1994,
when Unit #9 Case Model 621 B wheel loader was purchased. Staff recommends disposal of Unit #7 by trade-in to obtain the
maximum value.
Public Works field-tested and compared wheel loaders manufactured by Caterpillar, Case, Volvo, and John Deere. Staff
recommends replacing Unit #7 with one (I) new Caterpillar Model 938 wheel loader from the State of Minnesota Purchasing
Contract, with contract pricing as follows.
