Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Department of Finance and Management, Fleet Management Division, to modify its existing contract with Ace Truck Body, Inc., to increase the contract amount. The original contract was awarded per the results of bid solicitation RFQ019251.
The original contract was entered into on October 18, 2021. The contract was established for $74,495.00 and Ace Truck Body was the only respondent. Since the initial quote was issued the manufacturer of the service truck has experienced a price increase due to the increasing cost of steel and auto parts, and can only hold pricing for orders received prior to that increase, thereby an additional $8,000.00 is being requested
