Issue a purchase order to CIT Trucks, LLC, to furnish and deliver one (1) medium-duty box truck to the Stickney Water Reclamation District, under Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Purchasing Contract No. 032824-KTC, in an amount not to exceed $132,059.20, Account 101-69000-634860, Requisition 1661633
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to CIT Trucks, LLC, to furnish and deliver one (1) medium-duty box truck to the Stickney Water Reclamation District. The medium-duty box truck consists of a Kenworth T380 chassis with a 26’ Aluminum Box and Waltco HLF-3 Liftgate. The truck, with included upfitting, is expected to be delivered by December 31, 2026.
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) has a competitively bid contract with Kenworth Truck Company, a Division of PACCAR Inc., Contract No. 032824-KTC, for Class 5-8 chassis with related equipment. CIT Trucks, LLC is an authorized dealer of Kenworth Truck Company, a Division of PACCAR Inc. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The contracts were established to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase equipment during the contract period. The term of contract 032824-KTC began on July 5, 2024, and expire on July 9, 2028.
The order consists of the procurement of one (1) Kenworth T380 chassis with a 26’ Aluminum Box and Waltco HLF-3 Liftgate. The chassis will be made in Chillicothe, OH. The medium-duty box truck will be used to transport various materials among the chain of storerooms throughout the plants, as well as to transport materials that require protection from the elements, such as tree saplings and similar type material.
CIT Trucks, LLC, is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) was not included in this contract because the requirement does not fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V, are not applicable to this requirement because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the vehicle and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to CIT Trucks, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $132,059.20.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-634860.
Requested, Edward J. Staudacher, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:jd
Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairperson Committee on Procurement
