Title
Five (5) Ford AWD Utility Police Interceptors - Bid Award
History
The 2016 Fiscal Year Budget includes the purchase of five (5) replacement patrol vehicles for the Police Department. Legal notice for the five (5) Ford AWD Utility Police Interceptors was placed in the Southtown Star newspaper on Wednesday February 10, 2016. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 (bid tab attached).
Utilizing the Village’s Local Vendor Purchasing Policy, it is staff’s recommendation that the bid be awarded to Joe Rizza Ford of Orland Park for the purchase of five (5) Ford AWD Utility Police Interceptors, without option #1 for a cost of $139,995.90. Rizza can deliver the five (5) Interceptors within 60 days after receipt of the order. Rizza is within 2% ($2,600.90, 1.88% difference) of the low bidder, Hawk Ford of Oak Lawn ($137,395.00).
Staff does not recommend the purchase of option #1, prisoner partitions. Staff identified an alternate source from Emergency Vehicle Technology of Mokena, Illinois at a cost of $4,318 ($1,707 savings). The price submitted by Hawk Ford through the bid process did not meet specifications.
On March 7, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
