History
The 2009 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $99,000 for the purchase of three replacement pickup trucks for the Utilities Division of Public Works. At this time, we are replacing a 1997 Chevrolet 2500 4x4 Pickup Truck with 99,000 miles.
Legal notice for a 3/4 Ton 4x4 Pickup Truck equipped with a snowplow and lift gate ran in the Daily SouthtownStar Newspaper on Thursday, June 25, 2009. Bid packets were sent to four vendors. Two bid packets were faxed to vendors by request. In return, three bids were received for processing. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Monday, July 13, 2009.
Currie Motors Chevrolet of Forest Park, Illinois, was the lowest bidder who met all of the specifications as written. Their bid price for a 2009 Chevrolet 2500 HD 4x4 Pickup Truck equipped with an 8’ snowplow and lift gate is $30,904.
Although Bredemann Chevrolet of Park Ridge, Illinois, submitted a bid price of $30,825 for the pickup truck, their bid did not meet all of the specifications as written.
