Explanation
This Ordinance authorizes the Director of the Finance and Management to enter into contract with Toyota Material Handling for the purchase of one Forklift for the Division of Support Services. The Division recently moved into a new facility at 4252 Groves Road and is in need of a forklift for the stockroom in order to transport heavy equipment and supplies and to place them on the storage racks. This purchase was approved by Fleet Management.
The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on June 15, 2017 and three (2) bids were received. A tabulation of those bids is as follows:
Toyota Material Handling: $28,502.65(each)
MH Equipment: $30,197.50 (each)

Emergency action is requested because the operations area of the new building at 4252 is now being occupied and there is an immediate need for the forklift to get the equipment and supplies off of the floor and out of the way.
