Approval of bids received and award the lowest responsible bid to McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing for the purchase and installation of two (2) replacement refuse packers for the Sanitation Division
End
Background:
The Sanitation Division of the General Services Department requested and sought bids for two (2) replacement refuse packers. Funds have been appropriated and are available in the Broken Arrow Municipal Authority (BAMA) Capital Outlay Fund in the amount of $381,000.00. The sum of $160,424.00 will be used to purchase two chassis, bid separately, which will be drop shipped to refuse packer builder for packer installation and delivery.
Bids were solicited from six dealers. Three submitted bids. The low bid is from J&R Equipment for a Leach 2RIII Packer. Past Leach packers have given us poor reliability and repair costs have been substantial. Furthermore, the manufacturer does not provide for a rear tag axle to allow us to to meet state bridge laws (maximm allowable weights on individual axles). McNeilus Truck Manafacturing is the lowest bid meeting our specifications, including the tag axle feature. Their bid for a Model 2012 Packer is the most responsible and is recommended for purchase. This packer has given BAMA staff outstanding service and reliability, including low maintenance and low repair costs.
The total price for each McNeilus packer installed on the chassis, dropped shipped to their facility, is $75,080.00. Additional options selected are reflected in the attached bid tabulation. Staff recommends award of the bid to McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing.
Cost: $155,344.00
