The term of the proposed option contract would be from the date of execution by the City up to and including September 30, 2010 with the right to extend for two (2) additional years subject to mutual agreement by both parties. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 4, 2008.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA003016. Ninety Three Bids (93) bids were solicited; Five (5) bids were received.

The Purchasing Office is recommending award of contracts to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidders:

Horton Emergency Vehicles CC#352018529 (Expires 3-7-10)
Nortrax-Great Lakes Inc. CC#311160782 (Expires 4-12-09)
Vogelpohl Fire Equipment, Inc. CC#611166058 (Expires 9-9-10)
Kaffenbarger Truck Equipment CC#310802979 (Expires 10-2-10)
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $215,000.00

These companies are not debarred according to the Federal Excluded Parties Listing or the State Auditor's Findings For Recovery Database.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing UTC Contract Account. Fleet Management will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
