Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to 72 Hour LLC, DBA National Auto Fleet Group, to furnish and deliver two (2) stake body trucks to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. The vehicles will be delivered in the first quarter of 2023.
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) currently has a competitively bid contract with 72 Hour LLC, DBA National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of stake body trucks. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The invitation to bid was issued to establish a contract to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase current model year production vehicles during the contract period. The term of the contract began on November 4, 2021 and expires on November 8, 2025.
The District is procuring of two (2) new 2023 Ford Super Duty F-550 trucks (DRW W5H XL 4WD Crew Cab 203” WB 84” CA with 11’ Knapheide Value-Master Platform) to replace truck numbers 8674 and 8008, which are more than sixteen (16) years old and are beyond repair. The vehicles will be used to deliver equipment and supplies for the maintenance staff of the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
72 Hour LLC, DBA National Auto Fleet Group, is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA), and Affirmative Action, Revised Appendix D & Appendix V, are not applicable to this requisition 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 vehicles 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 72 Hour LLC, DBA National Auto Fleet Group, in an amount not to exceed $152,295.88.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-634860.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
