Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director on behalf of the Fleet Management Division to purchase one (1) 35,000 lb GVW CDL truck with 5th wheel hitch from Fyda Freightliner. This truck will be utilized by the Department of Finance Fleet Division for the training and certification of CDL licenses for use within the city. RFQ025475 closed on 08/24/2023. There were two (2) bidders and the award was given to the Fyda Freightliner as being the lowest and best bid response to bid specifications, length of warranty and available delivery date:
Fyda Freightliner - $114,797.00
Ohio Machinery Co. - $115,459.00
Fyda Freightliner certification number CC-004301 expires 04/14/2025
Fiscal Impact: A total of $114,797.00 will be spent from the Fleet Management Capital Fund 5205. Amendments to the 2023 Capital Improvement Budget and transfers of cash within Fund 5205 will be necessary to align budget authority and cash with the proper projects.
Emergency action is requested due to the instability of the automobile supply chain. The market volatility of all the OEMs continues with the ongoing shortage of chips and other critical supply line parts to produce vehicles. This limited availability is causing vehicles to increase in cost as well as limit their availability and produce unacceptably long lead times. Therefore, emergency legislation is being requested so that Fleet may ensure the pending purchase and delivery of these vehicles, which will not occur without this additional funding.
