Title
Purchase of Washing Machines - Civic Center and Public Works
History
There has been a long-standing request to install a washing machine (washer/dryer) at the Civic Center to be used by Village staff for the laundering of event materials (e.g. tablecloths). Additionally, the sole washing machine at Public Works is 20+ years old and in need of replacement. As several Public Works staff use these machines to launder their uniforms, the need to increase the number of machines from one (1) to two (2) was also identified.
As such, Public Works reached out to Genuine Parts Company/NAPA Integrated Business Solutions for quotes for three (3) new washing machines. NAPA subsequently provided quotes for high-capacity, commercial-grade stacked washer-dryers. A summary of the quotes is provided below:
Civic Center: $14,195.65
Public Works: $28,391.30
TOTAL: $42,586.95
Financial Impact
Funding for the Public Works washing machines was budgeted in GL account 1008010-570100 in the amount of $18,500.00, while funding for the Civic Center machine was budgeted in 3008010-570100 in the amount of $20,000.00. Funds from account 1008010-570100 will be used to cover the additional cost for the second Public Works washing machine.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve quotes 3123 and 3124 from Genuine Parts Company/NAPA Integrated Business Solutions for the purchase of three (3) new washing machines for an amount not to exceed $42,586.95.
