Equipment for Sale

Wesleyville Borough is soliciting sealed bids for the purchase of its 2005 Case 580M Series 2 Backhoe. Bids must be received at the Wesleyville Borough Office, 3421 Buffalo Road, Erie, PA 16510, no later than 4:00 PM on August 27, 2025.

Bids will be publicly opened and reviewed by Borough Council at their meeting that evening at 6:00 PM, at which time Council may select an offer.

The successful bidder will be responsible for pickup of the equipment at the Wesleyville Recycling Center; no delivery will be provided.

The equipment is sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. The backhoe starts and runs but requires a new radiator, replacement of certain hydraulic lines, and replacement of brake lines.

Interested bidders are welcome to inspect the equipment in person before bidding, reach out to the Public Works Supervisor Joe Ball, 814-722-1361, to schedule a time during standard business hours.

The Borough has elected to sell the equipment because it has purchased a front loader to meet its needs, and the backhoe’s functionality exceeds current requirements. Given the necessary repairs, the Borough intends to pursue the purchase of a mini-excavator rather than continue operating this unit.

For additional information and equipment details, contact the Borough Office at 814-899-9124.
