Every governmental agency faces resource constraints. Budgets are tight and the workload never quits.

If you’re responsible for procuring heavy equipment under these conditions, it’s hard to be successful on the job.

Cooperative purchasing can help.

WHY COOPERATIVE PURCHASING?

Cooperative contracts help you get the equipment you need quickly and better manage your budget, so you never have to compromise on machines and service.

Save Time

Improve procurement efficiency so you can put new equipment to work faster.

Control Costs

Don’t spend valuable budget dollars soliciting bids, reviewing proposals and awarding contracts.

Manage Risk

Avoid unexpected repair costs and other budget surprises that may arise when you buy the low-bid option.


MORE THAN NEW MACHINES AND ATTACHMENTS

Life cycle cost calculation

It’s important to evaluate purchases from a total cost perspective, as purchase price is just one small component. Choosing the low bid can actually cost more in the long run. Here is one well-accepted method to determine total cost:

INITIAL PURCHASE PRICE

– Trade-In

+ Maintenance

+ Repairs

+ Fuel and inputs

– Resale value


= TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
