Title
Purchase and Installation of two (2) Lift Gates - Proposal
History
The 2016 Village Budget has funds allocated for the replacement of two (2) ¾ ton pick-up trucks with snow plows and lift gates. An Invitation to Bid (# 16-016) had an option #2 for installing the lift gates. Bids received for the option #2 had prices higher than what the village would pay to have them installed independently.
As a result, staff solicited for the purchase and installation of lift gates and received quotes from three vendors: Regional Truck Equipment, Alsip, Illinois at $2,911.00 each; Monroe Truck Equipment, Joliet, Illinois at $3,064.00 each; Triangle Fabrication & Body Company, Chicago, Illinois at $2795.00 each.
After evaluation of the proposals, it is staff’s recommendation to accept the proposal from Triangle Fabrication & Body Company, Chicago, Illinois at $2795.00 each for a total cost of $5,590.00
On August 1, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in account # 010-5006-470200 and in account # 031-6002-470200 for this purchase and installation.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Triangle Fabrication & Body Company, Chicago, Illinois for purchase and installation of two (2) lift gates at a cost not to exceed $5,590.00.
