Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director on behalf of the Fleet Management Division to enter into contract with Brennan Equipment Services Company dba Brennan Industrial Truck for one (1) forklift. This forklift will be utilized by the Department of Finance Fleet Division. RFQ025065 closed on 06/16/2023. There were five (5) bidders and the award was given to the Brennan as the third lowest bidder since OCTAIN provided an estimate of 52 weeks for delivery and Central Ohio did not have a satisfactory warranty policy or meet bid specifications. Brennan was the best bid evaluated by responses to bid specifications, length of warranty and available delivery date:
Brennan Industrial Truck Co. - $37,995.00
Central Ohio Forklifts Inc. - $35,524.00
OCTAIN Forklifts Inc. - $36,663.00
Technology International Inc. - $40,090.00
One Nation Distribution LLC - $49,950.00
Brennan Industrial Truck Co. contract compliance number 34-4472715 expires 05/04/2025
Fiscal Impact: A total of $37,995.00 will be spent from the Fleet Management Capital Fund 5205 and has been budgeted.
Emergency action is requested due to the instability of the automobile supply chain.

This limited availability is causing vehicles to increase in cost as well as limit their availability. Therefore, emergency legislation is being requested so that Fleet may ensure the pending purchase and delivery of these vehicles, which will not occur without this additional funding.
