Background Information:
The City of San Marcos is authorized by the Local Government Code, Chapter 271, to participate in cooperative purchasing programs. The Sourcewell Cooperative has awarded contract #NJPA 032515 for Heavy Construction Equipment with Related Accessories, Attachments and Supplies to RDO Equipment Co, located in Pflugerville, Texas.
Through this Sourcewell contract, we are purchasing a new 2018 John Deere 310L Backhoe from RDO Equipment for the Water Wastewater Division in the amount of $90,428.01.
This John Deere backhoe is a replacement for an existing 19 year old JD 310G backhoe. The existing backhoe is in constant need of repairs and is becoming a safety issue due to age. The exterior is showing signs of fatigue and feels unstable when in use. The Water Wastewater division relies heavily on the use of backhoes for system improvements, repairs and emergencies.
