The Purchasing Department solicited bids from twelve (12) vendors and four (4) bids were received. All four (4) bids meet specifications, three (3) of which meet specifications with the exception that the outriggers must be used in order for the boom to operate.
Funds are available in the Sales Tax Capital Improvement (STCI) Fund in the amount of $167,000. (Project 195324, Account No.030-5310-431-70.02 [$85,000] and Account No. 042-5310-437-70.02 [$82,000] )
Staff recommends awarding the bid to the second lowest bidder, Rush Truck Center, due to a much shorter delivery time, which is in line with the many of the other bidders expect the apparent lower bidder.
Base pricing of the articulating aerial device and truck chassis with utility body is reflected in the attached bid tabulation sheet. The bid tabulation includes all vendors who submitted bids for this vehicle.
