Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared to furnish and deliver two diesel step van trucks to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to furnish and deliver two 2019 model year, or newer, diesel step van trucks, of 25,500 GVW or greater, to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. The trucks will be used for sewer maintenance and inspections, and TARP structure inspection and repair, primarily in the central sewer basin. They will replace two existing, aging trucks of the same type that have become increasingly expensive to repair, and which will be traded in for the new ones. The new trucks will provide in-plant and inter-plant transportation of equipment and material.
The total estimated cost of the contract is $320,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $6,400.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement, and the Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D are not included in this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract for equipment.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise November 21, 2018
Bid Opening December 11, 2018
Award January 3, 2019
Completion December 31, 2019
Funds are being requested in 2019, in Account 101-66000-634860, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for that year.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 19-610-11.
Requested, Brian A. Perkovich, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations, SO’C:MAG:JR
