Explanation

The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order for the purchase of two (2) Single Axle Dump Trucks for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Sewer Maintenance Operation Center from Center City International. The trucks will be used for sewer and storm water line rehabilitation, repair and maintenance projects.

Approval from Fleet Management is attached. These trucks replace two dump trucks BT-18309 and BT18576

The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 11, 2008 for the purchase of two (2) Single Axle Dump Trucks. Four (4) bids were received. The tabulation of those bids follows:

Graham Ford Inc $98,923.00/each

Graham Ford Inc (alt) $103,962.00/each

Center City International $105,744.00/each

Bob McDorman Chevrolet Inc. $108,816.54/each

After review of the bid, the apparent low bidder was Graham Ford Inc. However, Graham Ford is going out of business in November of 2008 and has requested to withdraw their bid. (E-mail attached). The Division of Sewerage and Drainage recommended and award to be made to the next low bidder, Center City International.

The bid requested quotes for extended warranty and an option for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The Division of Sewerage and Drainage is not awarding the extended warranty and the vehicle does not come equipped with CNG option.


SUPPLIER: Center City International (31-1048371) Expires 3-11-10

FISCAL IMPACT: $211,488.00 is budgeted and needed for this purchase.

Emergency legislation is being requested so that the vehicles can be order by the end of the year and to allow for the disposition of the older vehicles.
