Title
Self-Propelled Field Painter Machine Replacement Equipment Purchase - Approval
History
In order to maintain athletic fields throughout the Village, the Parks & Grounds Department utilizes self-propelled equipment for field line painting. Staff applies anywhere from 1500-2000 gallons a year with the assistance of this equipment.
Due to the high cost of maintenance, staff is recommending replacing the existing machine. The 2017 budget has funds available in account #010-5006-470300, to replace the 2006 model year field painter machine.
Staff is requesting to waive the bid process for this purchase and utilize the GSA Cooperative Purchasing Program. The Cooperative Purchasing Program allows local governments to benefit from pre-vetted industry partners on a variety of products and services offered through specific GSA contracts.
The Village is eligible for contract pricing from Smithco, for one (1) new Smithco Super Liner Riding Line Marker (# 44-901), under the GSA Contract # GS-06F-0030K, which is sold through Burris Equipment of Joliet, Illinois. Staff has tested the Smithco brand Super Liner Riding Line Marker machine and is pleased with the performance. The machine is immediately available from Burris Equipment after receipt of a purchase order in the amount of $12,382.04.
On October 2, 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 # 010-5006-470300 for this purchase.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the GSA contract proposal from Burris Equipment of Joliet, Illinois for the purchase of one (1) Self-Propelled Field Painter Machine in an amount not to exceed $12,382.04.
