Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Tiger Corporation to furnish and deliver a boom-mower to LASMA. The boom-mower will be delivered by December 31, 2018.
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) currently has a competitively bid contract with Tiger Corporation for the purchase of Roadway Maintenance Equipment with Related Accessories, Attachments, Materials, and Supplies. The term of the contract began on October 2, 2017, and expires on October 2, 2021. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative.
A boom-mower is needed to maintain the LASMA, HASMA, Vulcan and Marathon sites. A boom-mower is an all-wheel drive farm tractor with a mower attached to the hydraulic arm. The mower can be manipulated in any direction and can be used to maintain hillsides, reach over guard rails, cut plants growing in water, and trim trees that encroach on roads and buildings.
Tiger Corporation, is registered and in good standing with the State of South Dakota.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Tiger Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $167,920.20.
Funds are available in Accounts 201-50000-634760.
Requested, Brett Garelli, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
