Explanation
Automated side loader collection vehicles are an integral part of the Refuse Collection Division's mechanized collection
system. This ordinance authorizes the purchase of fifteen (15) automated side loader trucks to replace aging, high
maintenance expense vehicles. Formal competitive bids were solicited and opened by the Purchasing Office on
August 10, 2005 (solicitation #SA001700GRW). The complete refuse collection truck consists of the cab, chassis and
body. Four (4) bids were received for the cabs and chassis as follows:

cabs and chassis
vendor / year / make / model / unit cost / extended cost for 15 units
Foster's Truck and Trailer, Inc. / 2006 Autocar / WXR64 / $107,289.00 / $1,609,335.00
ESEC Corporation dba Columbus Peterbilt / 2006 / Peterbilt / 320 / $108,315.00 / $1,624,725.00
FYDA Freightliner Columbus, Inc. / 2006 / Freightliner / Condor / $112,950.00 / $1,694,250.00
Great Lakes Service Center, Inc. / 2005 / Crane Carrier / LET2 / $120,000.00 / $1,800,000.00

Four bids were also received for the truck bodies as follows:

body
vendor / year / make / model / unit cost / extended cost for 15 units
McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing / 2006 / McNeilus / AutoReach / $72,000.00 / $1,080,000.00
Bell Equipment Company of Ohio / 2005 / Wayne / Curb Tender / $72,505.00 / $1,087,575.00
Schodorf Tk. Body and Eqmt. Co. / 2005-6 / Heil / Formula 7000 sq. body / $82,190.00 / $1,232,850.00
Best Equipment Company, Inc. / 2006 / LaBrie / Automizer / $97,158.00 / $1,457,370.00
