RE: Parks Department Utility Step Van
BACKGROUND
The Parks Department would like to replace their 1985 Chevy van used for park maintenance and
operations. The current van has approximately 75,000 miles and costs more money each year to
keep it operational. In addition, replacement parts for the utility elements of the van are no longer
available as the manufacturer is no longer in business. A new utility step van would provide
Parks staff with more storage, carrying capacity and work areas for field operations.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with the Street Division, Purchasing reviewed and prepared proposals
seeking vendors for this van replacement. Bid requests were sent to vendors who have received
invitations to bids in previous years. In addition the bids were advertised in the local paper and
posted online on NovusVendor. Bids were received on July 22, 2009. The bid tabulation is
attached. Working with the Street Division, Purchasing reviewed the sole bid received and
concluded the bid from L & S Truck Center met the bid specifications.
FISCAL EUPACT
This van will have a fiscal impact of $43,609 (net van bid with trade + add -ons). This item was
budgeted in the 2009 CIP major equipment replacement at $65,000. Funding for this item would
be charged to CIP account: 323 - 0610 -7204- 06905.
.RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award the bid to L & S Truck Center for $43,609.
