The Lee Board of County Commissioners has approved the purchase of a Gradall XL3100 Hydraulic Excavator for the Department of Transportation. This new equipment will be used for ditch and swell repairs and maintenance across Lee County, supporting the county's drainage systems and water management during storms. The purchase was made using a piggyback contract, which leverages existing competitive sourcing for cost savings and a shorter acquisition timeframe. This project involves the acquisition of specialized heavy equipment for public works maintenance. The opportunity lies in supplying related services or equipment that may be needed to support the operation and maintenance of this new excavator, as well as potential future infrastructure projects it will facilitate. Contractors and suppliers who can provide specialized maintenance, parts, or complementary services should consider engaging with the Department of Transportation early.
