Recommended Action:
Consider equipment package bids for 2012 Tandem Cab and Chassis
History and Fact:
The 2012-13 General Fund Capital Budget includes $128,000 for the purchase of a tandem axel truck equipped with a dump body, front plow, wing plow and spreader. On May 14, 2012 the Mayor and Council approved the purchase of a 2012 International tandem cab and chassis in the amount of $74,888 with the equipment package to be bid at a later date.
Discussion:
Subsequent to the required public notice, bids from two equipment suppliers were opened by the City Clerk on June 21, 2012. Superintendent Don Elliott reviewed the bids and recommends the acceptance of the Bonnell Industries Inc. bid of $55,707, since the Monroe Truck Equipment bid did not meet specifications in three major component areas. Once in service this truck will replace an existing 1983, single axel dump truck in the Street Department.
Recommendation:
Accept the bid from Bonnell Industries Inc. in the Amount of $55,707 and reject all other bids.
