Explanation
Background: This ordinance appropriates $155,000.00 within the Fleet Management Services Fund for the Fleet Management Division for services related to the rebuilding of a wheel loader belonging to the Sewerage and Drainage Division. This ordinance also authorizes the Finance Director to issue a purchase order to Ohio Cat, the franchised central Ohio Caterpillar dealership, contract compliance #34-0672363 (majority) to rebuild the 1993 Caterpillar articulating wheel loader. Ohio Cat has provided the Fleet Management Division with a written estimate. A second life rebuild strips the vehicle down to its frame and replaces all wiring, hydraulics, controls, pumps, cab accessories, air conditioning and drive train components with remanufactured exchange components providing a new vehicle with a 2,000 hour/one year all parts and labor warranty and a 5,000 hour/three year power train warranty. The normal useful life of this loader ranges from 10,000 to 13,000 operating hours. This particular loader has 21,694 operating hours and is in service. A new machine is estimated to cost $333,000.00.

This ordinance also authorizes the transfer of monies within the Sewer Operating Fund. The Sewerage and Drainage Divsion budgeted for this rebuild cost in the 2006 budget, but the funds were not placed in the appropriate Object Level One Code to permit the expense to be reimbursed to the Fleet Management Division.

Fiscal Impact: The Fleet Management Division did not anticipate that this rebuild would occur in 2006 and did not budget funds for this purpose. Fleet Management requires this appropriation increase in order to have sufficient appropriation authority to cover the estimated $155,000.00 cost of the rebuild.

Emergency action is requested to allow the rebuild to be completed as soon as possible so that the Sewerage and Drainage Division can expeditiously return this loader to service.
