Dear Sir:
Plans and Specifications have been prepared to furnish and deliver one wheel loader to the LASMA Drying Facility at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
This new wheel loader is to replace an existing wheel loader that has deteriorated over time and is past its life expectancy. Replacement parts are difficult to obtain and its repair cost is prohibitive. The existing wheel loader will be traded-in on the new one.
The estimate for the Contract is $420,000.00.
The bid deposit for this Contract is $21,000.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement and Appendix D will not be included in this Contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver Contract for equipment.
The estimated schedule for the project is as follows:
Advertise March 19, 2008
Open Bids April 8, 2008
Award May 15, 2008
Completion September 12, 2008
