The unit was brought to the garage because it would not drive. Upon inspection, we found the
hydraulic drive motors were worn and required repair. Both drive motors were removed but
inspections revealed that one (1) motor could not be rebuilt and required replacing. We contacted the
dealer for replacement motor pricing. (This procurement is exempt from the bid process under Texas Local
Government Code Section 252.022, General Exemptions (7A), a procurement of items that are available from only one
