Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for lane striping and pavement markings throughout the City. To accomplish this mission, the Division requires a pre-marking truck that will be used to establish and layout lane striping to maintain the correct traffic patterns throughout the City. This truck will replace an older truck that is beyond its useful service life and provide for a more reliable fleet to carryout services provided by the Division. This purchase is consistent with the Division's fleet replacement program.

Bids for a pre-marking truck utility body were advertised in the City Bulletin and were received by the Purchasing Office on March 16, 2006 for Bid SA-001938GRW. The bids for the pre-marking truck utility body are as follows:

Vendor / Unit Bid / Bid Amount / Status
K. E. Rose Truck Equipment Company / Reading 1-8 ABSW / $14,665.00 / majority
Ace Truck Body, Incorporated / Reading 1-8 ABSW / $17,920.00 / majority

K. E. Rose Truck Equipment Company, contract compliance number 31-1233819 (expires July 1, 2006), met the specifications and was judged to be the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

This body is to be mounted on a Ford F-350 cab and chassis that is being purchased using an established citywide universal term contract with 32 Ford Mercury, Incorporated, 610 West Street, Batavia, OH 45103. The cost of the cab and chassis with options is $18,612.10. This expense can also be capitalized and this legislation reimburses this amount to the Street Construction, Maintenance and Repair Fund. The total amount to be expended for this unit (cab, chassis and body) is $33,277.10.

Fiscal Impact: Funding in the amount of $50,000.00 is budgeted and available for this purchase in the Transportation Division's 2005 Capital Improvements Budget in the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the street equipment project.
