Title
Compact Cargo Van - Bid Award
History
The 2015 Fiscal Year Budget includes the purchase of one (1) replacement vehicle for the Street Division J.U.L.I.E locator.
Legal notice for a replacement compact cargo van was placed in the SouthtownStar newspaper on Wednesday, April 08, 2015. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Monday, April 22, 2015 (bid tab attached). The low bidder indicated that their bid complied with the technical specifications required in the bid requirements. After closer evaluation, it was found that the lowest bidder had exceptions. Those exceptions relating to the rear door and the interior could not be waived. Terry’s Ford of Peotone, Illinois the next lowest bidder, submitted a bid in the amount of $24,400 that complies with the specifications and is an authorized business in Illinois (variance noted on responsiveness checklist attached). Terry’s Ford can deliver the van in 150-180 days after receipt of order.
On May 4, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
