Title
Utility Cart - Parks Department
History
The Public Works Department 2013 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $21,200 for the purchase of one replacement utility cart for the Parks Department. The current unit being replaced has 3,758 operating hours and is used extensively for field maintenance work.
Reinders, Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois, is the only vendor in the area able to supply this piece of equipment to the Village and has been the sole bidder for the Toro Workman HDX in the past. We have had excellent service and support from Reinders for more than twelve years.
In addition, the Toro Workman HDX is also on the GSA schedule and is currently priced at the 2012 price structure of $20,104.58 which is expected to increase by $1,197.56 in February 2013. Reinders, Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois, will sell us the replacement cart at the 2012 pricing structure provided they receive our purchase order prior to the 2013 price increase.
On January 21, 2013, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is $21,200.00 budgeted for the Utility Cart (Account #010-5006-470300).

And
Approve purchasing one Toro Workman HDX for the Parks Department from Reinders, Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois, at a price not to exceed $20,104.58 as required through 2012 GSA pricing guidelines.
