Item No: 5F.
Meeting Date: February
27, 2012
From: Mike
Thornton
Subject: Purchase
request from Fleet Services for the purchase of one new front loading refuse
truck.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff
recommends approval of the purchase request from Fleet Services for the
purchase of one new front loading refuse truck from Nextran Truck Center for a
total of $225,200.50.
Analysis:
Fleet
Services has scheduled in the 2012 fiscal year the replacement of an existing
2002 Mack truck (unit #991) with a front loading compaction refuse truck. This truck is 10 years old and currently has
17,000 hours on the meter.
Fleet
Services has selected the Mack truck with a Heil refuse body in order to
maintain standardization in the fleet of front loading refuse trucks. Standardization results in overall lower
maintenance costs related to technician training and repair time. The Fleet Services Division is also certified
for Mack truck warranty repairs. Should
the dealer not be able to make warranty repairs in a timely manner, the City
can make the repairs and be reimbursed for parts and labor under the Mack
warranty program.
Purchasing
recommends using the Florida Sheriffs Association Vehicle and Equipment bid
award 11-19-0907 for this purchase. This
contract is competitively bid and made available to local governments for
purchases. For this specific equipment
purchase there are no local dealers able to provide this type of equipment.
Fleet
Services has selected the second least expensive truck in the 60,000 pound GVWR
classification available on the Florida Sheriffs Association bid award. The available trucks and base prices are summarized
here. These prices do not include the
cost of the front loading refuse body.
