Title/Name/Summary
Equipment Purchase - Sourcewell Award Change Order
History
The 2020 Budget includes funds for the purchase of one (1) hook-lift skid-mounted salt spreader attachment for the Public Works Utilities Division. It is staff’s recommendation to outfit the last of four owned hook-lift trucks operated in the Public Works Department with a v-box salt spreader attachment utilizing the same vendor that previously built the hook lift trucks in 2015 and 2016 - Bonnell Industries Inc. of Dixon, Illinois. Using the same vendor ensures standardization of the equipment used by all staff. The Village is a member of Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Powers Alliance - NJPA), a purchasing cooperative that provides competitive pricing for equipment purchases. Bonnell is an awarded vendor with Sourcewell, Contract #080818-BNL, for this equipment.
This equipment purchase was previously approved at the January 6th, 2020 Village Board meeting for the amount not to exceed $26,314.00. However, after further review, the original quote did not include a pre-wet system that is needed in the Village’s snow and ice control operations. Pre-wetted salt is in accordance with best practices in snow and ice control management and a requirement of the EPA’s chloride reduction variance. The additional cost to incorporate the pre-wet system is $4,300.00.
It is staff’s recommendation to accept the revised proposal and award purchase of one (1) skid mounted v-box salt spreader with pre-wet/hook-lift functionality per the quote from Bonnell Industries Inc. of Dixon, Illinois for a revised amount not to exceed $30,614.00.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in account # 031-6002-470200 for this purchase.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Bonnell Industries Inc. of Dixon, Illinois for the purchase of one (1) hook-lift skid-mounted v-box salt spreader for an amount not to exceed $30,614.00.
