AGENDA ITEM 4.E.: PURCHASE OF CONTAINER SPREADERS

BACKGROUND:

Port Manatee owns two Gottwald cranes and has an opportunity to purchase from Port tenant Federal Marine Terminals, Inc (FMT) two crane spreaders which were purchased new one year ago. Due to a change in FMT’s business model, the spreaders are not practical for FMT operations. With the large increase in container volumes, these assets will benefit crane operations and provide cost savings in delivery charges and a discount for FMT’s rarely used spreaders. The cost for each spreader is $165,000 for a total of $330,000.

ATTACHMENT:

COST AND FUNDING SOURCE:
