Title
Replacement Aerial Lift Truck - Purchase
History
The Public Works 2016 Fiscal Year Budget has a rollover Board approved line item in the amount of $210,000.00 to replace a Street Division 2000 Chevrolet C7500 aerial lift truck. The vehicle is equipped with a 50’ aerial lift bucket primarily used for street light repairs. The current unit being replaced has 120,262 miles and 9,902 operating hours. Due to height and lifting limitations, the current equipment is unable to lift and install street lights taller than 40 feet. Street light poles installed along LaGrange Road, 159th Street and 143rd Street are 50 feet in height. This limitation requires that pole maintenance in these areas be largely done as a contract service, delaying responsiveness.
The Village is a member of the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), a purchasing cooperative that provides competitive pricing for equipment purchases. As a member of NJPA, Orland Park is eligible to purchase a 2018 Freightliner M2-106 chassis equipped with an Altec model TA-60 Articulating Telescopic Aerial device at a governmental discount through the manufacturer, Altec Industries Northern Division, Indianapolis, Indiana at a cost of $199,589.00. This new equipment increases the working height to 64 feet allowing Public Works staff to perform the maintenance on 50 foot street light poles.
On November 7, 2016, 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
There is sufficient funding budgeted for the replacement aerial lift truck in account #010-5006-470300.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve purchasing one replacement Aerial Lift Truck (2018 Freightliner M2-106 chassis equipped with an Altec model TA-60 Articulating Telescopic Aerial Device) from Altec Industries, Inc., Northern Division of Indianapolis, Indiana, for a price not to exceed $199,589.00.
