Explanation

Background: The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining and repairing the City's traffic signage. To accomplish this mission, the Division requires two aerial sign trucks to service the different signs posted throughout the City. These trucks will replace older trucks that are beyond their useful service and provide for a more reliable fleet to carry out services provided by the Division.

Bids were advertised in the City Bulletin and were received by the Purchasing Office on July 29, 2004 for Bid SA-001203GRW as follows:

Vendor / Cab and Chassis / Aerial Sign / Two Unit Cost / Status
Dueco, Incorporated / GMC TC8C042 / Terex T150M / $228,796 / Majority

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $3.2 million for equipment in the 2004 Capitol Improvements Budget. Thus far, the Division has spent $362,701.00 of this amount. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $228,796.00. Dueco, Incorporated, contract compliance number #39-1482105, met specifications as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder. Their bid price for two units is $228,796.00.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that the aerial sign trucks are available for use as soon as possible.
