Explanation

Background: The Transportation Division is responsible for sweeping along the City's roadway system. To accomplish this mission the Division requires a flusher truck to pre-wet and back flush streets. Additionally, this truck will be equipped with an anti-icer attachment which will greatly enhance the ability of the Division to pre-treat streets and roadways prior to snow storms and other winter events. This truck will be an addition to the fleet and will help to provide services provided by the Division.

Bids were advertised in the City Bulletin and were received by the Purchasing Office on August 5, 2004, for Bid SA-001213GRW as follows:

Vendor / Cab and Chassis / Flusher Unit / Unit Cost with Yellow Paint/ Status
Southeastern Equipment Company, Incorporated / GMC T7500 / Etnyre / $123,830 / Majority
Byers Chevrolet, LLC / Chevrolet T7500/ Elliot 2200 / $127,972 / Majority
ESEC Corporation / Isuzu FXR / Elliot 2200 / $133,763 / Majority
Jack Doheny Supplies Ohio, Incorporated / GMC TTF7042 / OMCO EFH / $145,500 / Majority

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $3.2 million for equipment in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget. Thus far, the Division has spent $362,701.00 of this amount. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $123,830.00. Including this ordinance, another $2.14 million in equipment legislation is pending before Council. The remaining balance for equipment will be used to purchase additional vehicles before the end of 2004. The Division spent approximately $700,000 in 2003 to purchase dump trucks with plows.

The bid from Southeastern Equipment Company, Incorporated, contract compliance #34-1503254, met specifications as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that the flusher truck is available for use as soon as possible.
