Title
Public Works Street Division Dump Trucks - Bid Award
History
The 2013 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $226,000 for the purchase of two (2) dump trucks for the Public Works Street Division. The trucks will replace a 1997 GMC light duty dump truck with 145,714 miles and the other will replace a 1998 Chevrolet medium duty dump truck with 110,612 miles.
Legal notice was placed in the SouthtownStar Newspaper for two F550 trucks on Friday, August 9, 2013.
Two (2) bids were received for processing. One (1) sealed bid was opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Friday, August 23, 2013.
Joe Rizza Ford of Orland Park, Illinois, met the specifications as written. Their bid price for two (2) 2014 model year F550 Regular 4WD Cab and Chassis equipped with plows, salt spreaders and other aftermarket equipment was $177,298.30 with a delivery time of 189 days after receipt of the purchase order.
The second bid packet was delivered late and, therefore, returned unopened to the submitting dealership.
On September 16, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
There are funds available in Account #010-5006-470200 for the purchase of these trucks.
