Re:
Loader Mounted Snow Blower- Bid # 10-2026
During this past budgeting session, the Department of Public Works requested funding for a loader mounted
snow blower. This piece of equipment was requested to assist with snow removal in the business districts
during the winter months. A loader mounted snow blower is more powerful than a standard snow blower, and
can move more snow in a shorter amount of time. It will also send snow directly into a dump truck, which can
save time by removing a step in our current process.
On July 30th, 2026, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson advertised for invitations to bid on the Loader Mounted
Snow Blower bid (Bid # 10-2026). On August 11, 2026, a total of four bids were received and publicly read.
The following results were returned:
Bid Results:
Bidder
Bid Amount
1.
Sawtooth Industrial
$ 70,750.00
2.
FDR Hitches
$ 62,599.00
3.
CN Wood Equipment
$82,472.00
4.
Tracey Road
$ 72,825.00
Three of the four bids returned specified the same manufacturer and model number. Sawtooth Industrial
delivered a bid for their own manufactured equipment, with two different options available. The lower costing
option is shown in the table above.
We have contacted FDR Hitches regarding the proposal, and they are confident that they can supply the snow
blower specified in our bid documents before the due date mentioned in bid. I recommend approving FDR
Hitches’ proposal for the Loader Mounted Snow Blower in the amount of $62,599.00. Funding for this contract
is included in the 2026-2027 Capital Budget H5110.2010.27566.
