Explanation
This Ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Safety to enter into contract with The Tennant Company for the purchase of one Industrial Sweeper and Scrubber for the Division of Support Services. The Division recently moved into a new facility at 4252 Groves Road and is in need of an industrial Sweeper for the Operations area where safety vehicles are outfitted and stored. This equipment will keep the floors clean from debris and dry from oil and any other fluids that may cause slip hazards. This purchase was approved by Fleet Management.
The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on May 4, 2017 and three (3) bids were received. A tabulation of those bids is as follows:
Contract Sweepers & Equipment Co.: $21,195.00 (each)
Key 4 Cleaning Supplies Inc.: $13,202.00 (each) ***alternative bid**
Tennant Sales and Services Co.: $21,020.25 (each)
The bid submitted by Tennant Sales and Services met all bid specifications and requirements, therefore the Division Support Services awards the contract to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Tennant Sales and Services Company.
SUPPLIER: Tennant Sales and Services Company CC#: 41-1986217 ; Expires 5-3-2019
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 scrubber to help minimize slip hazards in the garage areas.
FISCAL IMPACT: This Ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $21,020.25 within Safety's Capital Improvements funds for the purchase of an industrial sweeper and scrubber. This ordinance also authorizes an amendment to the 2017 Capital Improvement Budget and the transfer of funds between projects within Safety's Capital Funds. The Department of Public Safety has funds in their Capital Improvement Budget to pay for this contract.
