The 2019 Capital Improvement Program includes $40,000 for the replacement of the Public Works - Street Unit's asphalt roller. The current roller has been deemed in need of replacement by the Fleet Unit. Once the new equipment is received, the current roller will be surplused in accordance with Village guidelines. 

The asphalt roller is a critical piece of equipment in the Street Unit's edge patching operation.  The roller is used to compact the hot mix asphalt after it is installed.

Staff is proposing to purchase the Caterpillar Model CB24B Paving Compactor from Altorfer CAT of Elmhurst, IL, for a not-to-exceed cost of $39,250. The purchase is through Source Well (formerly NJPA) a joint purchasing cooperative similar to NWMC, that uses multiple government agencies and collaborative purchasing for better bid pricing.

Funds for this purchase are available in Account No. 401-7101-572.50-15 EQ 9401.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Village Board award the Capital purchase to Altorfer CAT of Elmhurst, Illinois, for an amount not-to-exceed $39,250 for the Caterpillar Model CB24B Asphalt Roller, and authorize Staff to execute the necessary documents.
