Title
Development Services and Recreation Vehicles - Bid Award
History
During the 2012 budget planning process, four compact sedans (two for the Development Services Department and two for the Recreation Department) were originally recommended for replacement. The final 2012 fiscal year budget included funding in the amount of $30,000 presumably only enough for two of those vehicles. However, budget savings on recent vehicle purchases will allow for the purchase of a third compact sedan (two for Development Services and one for the Recreation Department).
Legal notice ran in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Monday, March 26, 2012. In return, three bids were received for processing. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Monday, April 9, 2012.
Roesch Ford of Bensenville, Illinois, was the low bidder for three (3) Ford Focus Four-Door Sedans for a total cost of $42,885 and met all specifications as written.
On April 16, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF THE APRIL 16, 2012, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE PACKET.
Financial Impact
There is a Board approved line item (Account #010-5006-470200) in the amount of $30,000 plus additional budget savings within the same line item for the purchase of the replacement vehicles.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve awarding the bid for the purchase of three (3) Ford Focus Four-Door Sedans from Roesch Ford of Bensenville, Illinois, for an amount not to exceed $42,885.
