Title
Parks Department Infield Groomers - Bid Award
History
The 2012 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $28,500 for the purchase of three infield groomers for the Parks Department. The Parks Department currently utilizes seven infield groomers to maintain the baseball fields throughout Orland Park. These groomers will be replacing model years 2001 through 2003 groomers and have hour meter readings up to 2,865 hours.
The legal notice for the infield groomers ran in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Wednesday, March 28, 2012. In addition bid packets were available on line. In return, only one sealed bid was received and opened by the Village Clerk’s Office at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 (Bid Summary Sheet attached).
Reinder’s Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois, was the only bidder for three (3) 2012 Toro Sand Pro 2020 Groomers at $27,914.07 and met all specifications as written. Therefore, staff recommends awarding the bid for the three Toro Sand Pro Field Groomers to Reinder’s Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois.
On May 21, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is $28,500.00 budgeted for the infield groomers (Account #010-5006-470300). The bid price of $27,914.07 is $585.93 under budget.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve awarding the bid for three (3) 2012 Toro Sand Pro 2020 Groomers for the Parks Department to Reinder’s Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $27,914.07.
