Background:
The Sanitation Division of the General Services Department requested and sought bids for one replacement and two additional refuse trucks. Two of four back-up trucks have in excess of 158,000 miles and one in excess of 215,000 miles. The two additional trucks will improve truck availability for collection routes due to truck maintenance down time and long wait times at the Covanta Trash to Energy plant and the Landfill. These wait times effectively remove trucks from the route. All new trucks being purchased will be also be fully capable to collect refuse and recyclables utilizing carts. Delivery of the chassis, its associated packer body, shipment and packer installation is expected to be between six and nine months depending on manufacturer scheduling. Ordering these trucks will ensure a reliable fleet is available for next year's heavy summer period. Funds have been appropriated and are available in the Broken Arrow Municipal Authority (BAMA) Capital Outlay Fund in the amount of $547,000.
Bids were solicited from eight dealers. Three dealers submitted bids, with two dealers submitting alternate bids. The lowest bid was meeting specifications was submitted by Premier Truck Group for a 2019 Freightliner chassis in the amount of $96,889.00 each and is recommended for purchase. Additional options selected are reflected in the attached bid tabulation.
The total price for three chassis is $290,667.00. The remaining funds will be required to purchase refuse packer bodies, which were bid separately. Staff recommends that the Authority award the most advantageous bid to Premier Truck Group.
