Approval of bids received and award the lowest and most advantageous bid to J&J Emergency Vehicles for the purchase of a pumper truck for the Fire Department
End
Background:
The Fire Department requested and sought bids for a fire pumper. Funds were appropriated and are available in the Sales Tax Capital Outlay Fund in the amount of $500,000.00. Two (2) dealers submitted bids. Bids ranged from a low of $429,652.00 to a high of $521,739.00.
The Department's need for this new pumper is critical and time is of the essence. As such, the bids for this apparatus were intended to procure an in-stock fire truck from a vendor's inventory. Consequently, it was anticipated that all bids received would vary slightly from actual specifications depending on the fire trucks available for purchase from a given vendor's inventory. Each bid was evaluated based on the various features, capability, performance, overall value, and potential impact on the City's ISO rating. This truck will serve as an ISO equipped Fire Pumper with all the capabilities of a front line pumper.
The lowest bid was submitted by J&J. It meets the Fire Department's needs, provides the best overall value and positively impacts the City's ISO rating. The vendor is able to deliver it in 60 days. It is a true attack pumper that provides increased safety for firefighters with the cab design and seating arrangement. The bid tabulations show the base price and various options of the two (2) bids submitted. Considering the submitted bids, the J&J ERV is the most advantageous and is recommended for purchase.
Cost: $429,652.00
