Title/Name/Summary
Portable LED Light Tower(s) Equipment Purchase
History
The Parks and Grounds Department solicited quotes for the purchase of portable LED light tower(s). Proposals were submitted by three (3) vendors, Altorfer Power Systems of Elmhurst, IL, O’ Leary’s Contractors Equipment of Chicago, IL and Martin Implement of Orland Park, Illinois.
Proposals for twelve (12) portable LED light towers were submitted. Each of the three (3) vendors that submitted proposals are dealers for different manufacturers of light towers which do have some varying specifications. Staff ensured that all three (3) vendors were submitting proposals for comparable products based upon the Village’s desired specifications. Prime specifications that the Village specified were as follows, 30-amp twist lock outlet, light mast height, Kubota engine and pintle hitch.
Staff is requesting to waive the bid process and award the purchase and delivery of twelve (12) portable LED light towers to O’ Leary’s Contractors Equipment of Chicago, IL. While Altorfer Power and Martin Implement did provide Cooperative purchase pricing, O’Leary’s was able to provide the lowest per-unit pricing and the lowest per-unit freight cost.
Financial Impact
The FY2020 budget includes funding for street light upgrades along Harlem Avenue. This project will be deferred and the funding for this project will be utilized to fund the purchase of the LED light towers. A budget adjustment is required and will be brought to the Board for approval at the April 20th Board meeting.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move approve waiving the bid process;
And,
Move to approve O’ Leary’s Contractors Equipment for the purchase of twelve (12) Doosan, Model LCV8 portable LED light towers in an amount not exceed $106,809.
