Title
BID REVIEW - REMOVE AND REMOUNT 5 YARD DUMP BOX
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Continue effective financial management
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The 2015/2016 Equipment Rental Reserve Fund includes funding for the purchase of one 5-yard dump truck in the City’s Stormwater division.
This unit was originally scheduled to be replaced in 2014 but the life cycle was extended. At this time, the life cycle cannot be extended any longer due to increasing mechanical issues. After reviewing 5-yard dump truck options, it was determined by staff to replace the chassis instead of repair since repair would exceed the value of the truck. However the 5-yard dump box is in good condition and can be remounted on a newer chassis.
On July 12, 2016, one bid was received as follows:
Remove and Remount - $23,328.00, Randco Tank Inc; Kelso WA
New 5-Yard Dump Box - $54,000, Washington State contract
$30,672 - savings
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
Funds for this vehicle conversion are budgeted in the 2015/2016 budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to accept the bid and award a contract to: Randco Tank in the amount of $23,328.
