Title
Compact Sport Utility Vehicle - Purchase
History
The 2016 Fiscal Year Budget includes the purchase of one (1) compact Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) for the Public Works Department. Legal notice for the Compact Sport Utility Vehicle was placed in the Southtown Star newspaper on Wednesday, February 10, 2016. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s office on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 for the Compact Sport Utility Vehicle.
Five (5) bids were received in a timely manner and one (1) bid was received late. For comparison, the same SUV was priced utilizing the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC). The SPC awarded Contract #129 to Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois in the amount of $19,850, which is $1,650 below the lowest bid price.
Based on this evaluation, staff recommends rejecting all the bids submitted for the one (1) Compact Sport Utility Vehicle and award the purchase, utilizing the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative, to Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois at a cost of $19,850.00. Currie Motors can deliver the one (1) Compact SUV approximately 10-14 weeks after receipt of order. A Total Cost of Ownership and Competitive Analysis were also completed and are attached for reference.
On March 7, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
