Explanation
November 5, 2004 04-081-600

BACKGROUND: The Purchasing Office received and opened bid number SA001325 for one 17,500 GVW Cab and Chassis Truck with Platform Body on October 28, 2004. This truck is for use by the Parsons Avenue Water Plant activity for snow plowing, salting and to transport pumps, aggregates and personnel as needed for the Division of Water. Six bids were received and the Purchasing Office deemed four of them complete. The bids from FYDA Freightliner and White-Allen Chevrolet were non-responsive having changed the City's terms and conditions of payment.

The first vendor, Center City International, 4200 Currency Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43228, met or exceeded all of our specifications. Therefore we are recommending award of this contract go to Center City International as the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder. We are recommending they be awarded the bid for Item #1, for a 2005 International model 4300 4x2 Cab and Chassis with a Knapheide 2005 model PVMXT-123C Platform Body, Swenson Model MDV1044HSS Salt Spreader and Bonnel Model 10ST31M4 Snow Plow Assembly at a complete unit price of $78,773.00. The Contract Compliance Number for Center City International is 31-1048371. They do not have MBE/FBE status. There were 78 companies solicited and of the bids received no company had MBE/FBE status.

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner, for this year's funding and to avoid an increase in cost after the beginning of 2005.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Division of Water has allocated $75,000.00 for the 17,500 GVW Cab and Chassis Truck with Platform Body, Salt Spreader and Snow Plow assembly in the 2004 Budget. There have been no expenditures for this type of item in the last two years.
