Title/Name/Summary
Replacement - 2003 Workhorse Step Van #6002 - Suburban Purchasing Cooperative Award
History
The 2020 Fiscal Year Budget includes the replacement of one (1) Step Van (#6002) for the Public Works Department. This vehicle is used by the Utilities Division for every water, sanitary, and storm sewer repair including any emergency repairs. The current truck is 18 years old and is well past its life cycle replacement. There have been multiple costly repairs done in the last few years to keep this truck operational. For example, staff has purchased parts off of 'eBay' due to parts no longer being manufactured. In addition, there is no heat for warming during extensive winter operations and emergencies. This is a special order vehicle due to the nature of its intended use, specifically regarding the equipment setup and outfitting of this truck.
The Village will utilize the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) Contract #182 to purchase a 2020 Ford F550 Commercial Stripped Chassis with installed step van body and other aftermarket equipment from “Utilimaster” in the amount of $158,754.00 to replace the 2003 Workhorse Step Van #6002 for the Utilities Division. The SPC contract is from Sutton Auto Group, Matteson, Illinois. The Village benefits from joint purchasing contracts by aggregating purchasing power. Sutton Auto Group can deliver the Commercial Stripped Chassis 14-16 weeks after receipt of the order to Utilimaster. Utilimaster will then perform the build-out of step van, installing all aftermarket equipment, and deliver within 90 days.
