RE: Approve Cooperative Purchase of Aerial Lift Truck from Altec Industries,
Inc. for Forestry Division ($158,909.00)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $130,000 in the 2022 CIP to purchase an aerial lift truck
unit for the Forestry Division. The new unit will replace a 2009 aerial truck that has
experience continuing hydraulic system issues. The new unit will include an Altec
AT37G aerial lift and body mounted on a Chevy 5500HD chassis. This unit is used to
perform tree maintenance and maintenance at the Leach Amphitheater.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has confirmed that Altec Industries, Inc. holds the Sourcewell cooperative
contract (#012418-ALT) for Altec equipment. Purchasing has confirmed this purchase is
pursuant to the cooperative purchase exception of our purchasing ordinance and that
the contract pricing will save $7,945 from list price. Unfortunately, a tight equipment
market and longer lead times has caused the price of this replacement to rise above the
original estimated cost.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2022 CIP allocated $130,000 for this unit. With trade-in the total fiscal impact of this
purchase is $158,909. This unit will be charged to A/N#: 03230620 7210 66905 (Aerial
Lift Truck w Cabinets). The overage ($28,909) will be covered using remaining funds
from the 2019 Chipper Truck CIP (A/N# 03230620 7210 66906) and 2019 Aerial Lift
Truck CIP (A/N# 03230620 7210 66905).
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City
Manager, cooperative purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local, state or
federal governmental unit or agency may be made without following a competitive
bidding or quotation process. In accordance with Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code
and with approval by the City Manager, Purchasing recommends the Common Council
award this purchase to Altec Industries, Inc., 210 Inverness Center Dr. Birmingham, AL
35242 for $158,909.00. For any questions related to this purchase please contact Parks
Director Ray Maurer or myself.
