Title/Name/Summary
Public Works Vehicle Lifts - Purchase and Installation
History
In 2019, Genuine Parts Company/NAPA Integrated Business Solutions (“NAPA-IBS”) was awarded a contract from Sourcewell, a national purchasing cooperative, for Facility MRO, Industrial & Building Supplies with Related Equipment, Accessories, Supplies & Services.
Utilizing this Sourcewell agreement, the Village Board approved a contract with NAPA-IBS in 2020 for fleet-related maintenance equipment, supplies, services, and inventory management solutions. Since that time, NAPA-IBS has set up a “storefront” in the Public Works Building adjacent to the Vehicle and Equipment Division garage.
In 2021, the Village utilized the services of NAPA-IBS’s to replace a non-functioning vehicle lift located in the Public Works Vehicle Garage. The previous lift, which had a 7,000lb capacity and was original to the construction of the PW building, was upgraded to a 10,000lb lift capacity with enhanced safety features.
Two (2) additional non-functioning lifts were budgeted to be replaced in 2022. A proposal was subsequently provided by NAPA-IBS for the purchase and installation of two (2) additional vehicle lifts. The proposal, dated January 13, 2022, is attached for reference. Once installed, the vehicle mechanics working in the Public Works Building will have the ability to work safely on a broader range of vehicles at the same time. As there is a significant lead time to procuring vehicle lifts, the Public Works Department has made this project a priority.
As such, staff recommends approving the proposal from NAPA-IBS for $48,318.82 for the purchase and installation of two (2) new vehicle lifts at the Public Works Building. A 10% ($4,831.88) contingency is also requested to address change orders made necessary by circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract is signed. This contingency amount will be included in the contract for this project.
The approval of these proposals is before the Village Board of Trustees for final consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for this project were approved for the Fiscal Year 2022 budget in account 010-1700-470300.
