looking at options for renewing the lease. In April 2014 the county went out for bids for the skid <br /> steer loaders and awarded the bid to NMC caterpillar. NMC is discontinuing the skid steer lease <br /> program. The current lease is $6,050.00 per year for each machine with up to 300 hours use on <br /> each machine. These machines have a flexible track and it is a good track. The 3 option would <br /> be: <br /> • Purchase the existing loaders through Sourcewell they have a good price on the <br /> machines <br /> • Purchase them from NMC through the Sourcewell contract and have Caterpillar <br /> finance the purchase <br /> • Go out for bids for 2 machines and since it was not budgeted consider a lease <br /> purchase or wait until the 2019/2020 fiscal year <br /> Steve said if the board approved the purchase of 2 machines today using Sourcewell he could <br /> keep the 2 machines he has. <br /> Lancaster noted that they cannot continue the lease because it has been discontinued. <br /> Charlie Rudeen with Cat was present and said renewing the lease was an option but it would be <br /> a different rate. <br /> Peterson ask if they could purchase the machines but Mr. Rudeen said that when a lease is <br /> over NMC buys the machines back and then they lease a new machine. He also said that the <br /> flex track is no longer being manufactured. Petersen also ask what the purchase price was and <br /> Steve said he did not include that incase the county did go out for bids. <br /> 9:30 A.M.
