MEMORANDUM TO: Paul Glader <br />FROM: George Hufford <br />October 6, 2010 <br />SUBJECT: Mesita Hill Reclamation Equipment Rates <br />At your request, operating costs for equipment used in the Mesita Hill reclamation <br />work have been prepared. Where information for a particular piece of equipment <br />is not available, information for the most similar piece of equipment is used. <br />Equipment used at Mesita Hill for grading consisted of a Cat 9508 loader, a Cat D8k <br />bulldozer with a semi-U blade and a Cat D7 bulldozer with a straight blade. The <br />Cat 9508 loader and the D7 bulldozer were rented while the D8k was owned by the <br />contractor. <br />Monthly equipment rental rates were taken from a rate sheet by Wagner Cat, <br />which has offices in Colorado and New Mexico and which should be applicable to <br />the area. The rental rates are based on 176 operating hours per month. Rental <br />rates exclude fuel, lubricants, excessive wear and damage. <br />Fuel usage was taken from the Caterpillar Performance Handbook, 38th edition, at <br />the high end of the publish range. This reflects the contractor's comment that he <br />was using 130 gallons per day in his D8k. <br />Hourly operating costs are summarized below and detailed on the following page. <br />Equipment Equipment Hourly Operating Cost Total Hourly Operating Cost <br />Cat 9508 Loader $ 59.50 $ 77.84 <br />Cat D7r Bulldozer 106.15 124.49 <br />Cat D8t Bulldozer 130.27 148.61 <br />HAMY DOCUMENTSWESITA HILL\RECLAMATION\2010 REVISIONVESITA HILL EQUIPMENT RATES.DOC
