Title
Enclosed Trailer - Purchase
History
The 2017 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item for the purchase of an enclosed trailer for the Street Division of the Public Works Department. The Streets division intends to use the trailer for hauling and storing small power equipment, tools and supplies, used primarily for various concrete maintenance assignments throughout the Village.
The manufacturer of the trailer was contacted for references of three or more authorized dealers within 50 miles of the Village, only two were provided. Requests for proposal were solicited and received from: Funk’s Trailer Sales, Inc. of Morris, Illinois ($5,884.00); and Wild Bill’s RV & Outdoor Center of Homer Glen, Illinois ($5,374.99).
Staff recommends accepting the lowest proposal in the amount of $5,374.99 for a 2017 Cargomate 7X16 Trailer from Wild Bill’s RV & Outdoor Center of Homer Glen, Illinois. The trailer will be ready for pick up at the vendors location in 4-5 weeks after receipt of order.
On March 6, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact:
Funds are available in account number 010-5006-470200 for this purchase.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Wild Bill’s RV & Outdoor Center, Homer Glen, Illinois, for the purchase of one 2017 Cargomate 7X16 trailer with options, in an amount not to exceed $5,374.99.
