Discussion Regarding Action Items
Komatsu Rigid Frame Back-Dump Truck / Quarry / $519,031.00
Budget: $800,000.00 / Project Cost: $519,031.00 / Balance: $280,969.00
This purchase is for a new Komatsu HD325-8, a 40 ton off-road, rigid frame, back-dump truck for the Quarry. This truck will be a new addition and will be used in the daily operations of the Quarry to haul rock products. The Quarry currently has one Terex 40 ton truck and two Komatsu 40 ton trucks. The Quarry researched comparable Caterpillar and Terex trucks similar in size, and concluded that the Komatsu truck is the best fit for the Quarry and the least expensive. To keep maintenance and repair issues minimized and to utilize existing parts inventory, a replacement truck should only be Komatsu or Terex brand. This new truck comes with a 2000 hour/3 year warranty and will be serviced by Linder Industrial Machinery. It is the staff’s recommendation that Council approve the purchase of a 2018 Komatsu Back-Dump Truck from Linder Industrial Machinery of Greer, SC, in the amount of $519,031.00.
