Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a Universal Term Contract to purchase Truck Upfitting Services for City agencies. The term of the proposed option contract would be one (1) year from August 15, 2011 to August 14, 2012.
In order to expedite delivery and reduce costs, the Division of Planning and Operations, Fleet Management Division and the Purchasing Office developed a pilot project for acquiring four single axle dump trucks. Ordinance number 1421-2010 authorized H Y O Inc. dba Pengwyn to upfit the dump trucks in this pilot project. The pilot project was successful in that the Division of Planning and Operations received the completed dump trucks in four months and saved a total amount of $10,636.00 in comparison to the previous method used which took nine months for the agency to receive the completed dump trucks at a higher cost to the City.
The Purchasing Office has determined it would be in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bidding requirements of Chapter 329 of the City code and is recommending a one (1) year contract from August 15, 2011 to August 14, 2012 to H Y O Inc. dba Pengwyn. This contract will reduce the costs for truck upfitting services and expedite delivery of completed units.
H Y O Inc. dba Pengwyn, CC#311201883, expires 11/11/11
Estimated Expenditure: $900,000.00
