Title
Consider Approval Of Bid #15-022 For The Purchase Of Four Sand Spreaders To Warren Truck & Trailer In An Amount Not To Exceed $63,920.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
A sealed bid was issued for the purchase of four sand spreaders. These are used to spread mixtures of road products during snow and ice events. These units load in the back of current dump trucks as needed.
The two current units have met fleet replacement criteria which is a combination of age, maintenance etc. and the other two will be added under ATB already approved for FY14-15. The other two new units were approved in the 2015 budget. They will effectively assure the same operational capacity to obtain traction on the streets as two units were dedicated to the snow plows that were newly employed in 2015 and focused on the bridges.
Three responses were received to our sealed bid and staff is recommending the low bidder as meeting the bid specifications.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The sand spreaders under bid #15-022 will be paid for with budgeted funds for the cost center and amount as listed below.
