Two Different Steering Modes To Match Your Job ! Go from four-wheel "all wheel" steer to skid-steer mode with the flip of a switch! All-Wheel Steer Mode The new Bobcat all-wheel steer loader is a revolutionary compact loader with four steerable axles. That means less tire wear, less ground disturbance and less operator fatigue. Skid-Steer Mode Page 1 of 3 Flip a switch, and the loader gives you all the advantages of a compact skid-steer loader. It can maneuver in tight spaces, turn within its own length and deliver high performance day in and day out. Steering Mode Selector Switch Conveniently located within easy reach from the operator seat, the steering mode selector switch is found on the dash panel inside the cab. The steering mode selector switch makes switching steering modes quick and easy. Depending on job requirements, the operator can change steering modes from all-wheel steer to skid-steer simply by bringing the loader to a stop, pressing the steering mode selector switch, and then the "Press to Operate Loader" button. Now he's ready to operate in skid-steer mode. Changing back to the all-wheel steer mode can be done in the same way. Tire & Turf Friendly All-wheel steer mode is gentle on grass and other surfaces, meaning little or no rework after the main job is done. http://www.bobcat.com/loaders/product_lines/all_wheel_steer 12/6/2007 A300 with pallet fork RESOLUTION No. 2007- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITI~ COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $69,958.42 TO BOBCAT OF METRO DADE FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN ALL WHEEL STEER LOADER; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 1 WHEREAS, the City Council previously approved a line of credit to allow the City 2 Manager to purchase new replacement vehicles as well as heavy equipment for various 3 City Departments, and 4 WHEREAS, the Parks Department is in need of a piece of equipment capable of 5 mowing, trenching for irrigation, and spreading fertilizer, etc., otherwise known as an All 6 Wheel Steer, and 7 WHEREAS, City staff prepared specifications to purchase the equipment as 8 required, and advertised the same on November 9, 2007, and 9 WHEREAS, two bids were received and publicly read, and 10 WHEREAS, the apparent low bidder's response was "unresponsive" because the 11 equipment included in their specifications is not a"All Wheel," and 12 WHEREAS, the second bid was evaluated for compliance and it is being 13 recommended that the City Council accept the second bid and authorize the City 14 Manager to issue a purchase order to Bobcat of Metro Dade in the amount of 15 $69,958.42 for the purchase of an All Wheel Steer, to include an extended warranty, 16 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY 17 OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 Section 1.
