Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance Director to issue a purchase order for repair of Brass Tag 20623, a 2002 Elgin Pelican Street Sweeper, for the Transportation Division. On April 15, 2004 the unit sustained damages after the driver lost control of the unit while attempting to turn from High Street onto W/B Rt. 104, causing the vehicle to roll over. The Fleet Management Division requests waiving the formal competitive bidding requirements because Jack Doheny Supplies is the sole authorized Elgin Distributor for the State of Ohio. Jack Doheny Supplies have provided the Fleet Management Division with a written repair estimate.
Fiscal Impact: The Fleet Management Division 2004 budget has sufficient appropriation authority to cover the estimated $46,463.33 cost of the repairs. A new street sweeper costs an estimated $111,000.00.
CC#383148955, expiring 03-21-2006.
Emergency action is requested so that the Transportation Division can return the Elgin Pelican Street Sweeper to service as soon as possible.
