Title
Replacement Pickup Truck - Bid Award
History
The 2006/07 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $23,000 for the purchase of a replacement Crew Cab Pickup Truck for the Parks Department.
Legal notice for the replacement pickup truck ran in the Daily Southtown Newspaper on Monday, April 30, 2007. In addition, bid packets were sent to five vendors. In return, three bids were received for processing. The sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Thursday, May 10, 2007 (Bid Summary Sheet attached).
Bill Jacobs Chevrolet of Joliet, Illinois, met all specifications as written and was the lowest bidder with a price of $23,589 for a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado One (1) Ton Crew Cab Pickup Truck.
At 6:00 p.m. on June 18, 2007, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee.
Financial Impact
There is $23,000 (Account #010-5006-431.70-20) budgeted for the Crew Cab Pickup Truck. The bid price of $23,589 is $589 over budget. Since the January purchase of a Passenger Van for the Recreation Department was $6,676 under budget (Account #010-5006-431.70-20), there are funds available for this purchase.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve awarding the bid for a replacement 2008 Chevrolet Silverado One (1) Ton Crew Cab Pickup Truck for the Parks Department to Bill Jacobs Chevrolet of Joliet, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $23,589.
