SKID STEER LOADER – UTILITIES DEPARTMENT – #B06004

 

Utilities/Wastewater requested bids for a skid steer loader.  The new loader will have a higher lifting capacity and a smaller turning radius than our present loader and will be equipped with a backhoe attachment that our present loader doesn’t have.  It is needed for cleaning out the storm water basin and managing and maintaining the 40 plus lift stations around town.  This is an addition to the fleet and the purchase was approved in the 2006 budgeting process.
