Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining the City's roadway system. To accomplish this mission the Division requires two vibratory rollers with trailers. These vibratory rollers will replace rollers that are beyond their useful life. This purchase is consistent with the Division's equipment purchase program.

Bids for two vibratory rollers with trailers were advertised in the City Bulletin and were received by the Purchasing Office on March 9, 2006 for Bid SA-001932GRW. The bids for the vibratory roller portion are as follows:

Vendor / Unit Bid / Bid Amount / Status
Nations Rent / Vibromax 365 / $79,400 / majority
Ohio Cat / Caterpillar CB-334E / $88,400 / majority

Nations Rent, contract compliance number 65-0912181 (expires March 3, 2008), met the specifications and was judged to be the lowest responsive, responsible and best bidder. Their bid price for two units is $79,400.00.

The bids for the trailer portion are as follows:

Vendor / Unit Bid / Bid Amount / Status
Nations Rent / Felling FT-14L / $13,078 / majority
Ohio Cat / Trailking TK14U / $14,028 / majority
Rocks Trailer Sales, Inc. / Millennium Loader Toter / $9,920/ majority

Rocks Trailer Sales, Incorporated, contract compliance number 31-1032688 (expires April 26, 2008), met the specifications and was judged to be the lowest responsive, responsible and best bidder. Their bid price for two units is $9,920.00.

The total cost of this award is $89,320.00.

Fiscal Impact: Funds are budgeted and available for this expenditure within the Transportation Division's 2005 Capital Improvement Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the Street Equipment project.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that the vibratory rollers loaders and trailers are available for use as soon as possible to enhance worker productivity.
