Consideration, discussion and possible approval to reject bids for the purchase of one (1) Dump Truck and find that the best interest of the City of Broken Arrow will be served by the rejection
End
Background:
A bid was opened for the purchase of one (1) Dump Truck for the Water Utilities Department on September 11, 2019. The award request was brought to the Authority on October 15, 2019. Ultimately, the agenda item was tabled.
The City’s Purchasing Manual states the award of a bid shall be made within 30 days after the opening of the bids unless the City by formal recorded action, and for good cause, may extend the award not more than 15 days.
This particular bid already exceeded the 30 day award requirement when it was presented to the Authority and a formal request to extend the award was not made.
In keeping with the time requirement of bid awards as directed in the Purchasing Manual, staff recommends that all bids be rejected at this time. This truck can be purchased under another similar dump truck bid solicitation for the Street and Stormwater Department.
