RE: Bid Award- Single Wheel Axle Truck Chassis with Flip-Top Service Bodies
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $140,000 in the 2013 Major Equipment CIP for two single wheel
axle truck chassis with flip-top service bodies for the Water Distribution Center. These units are
used to transport tools and equipment during water main construction and service calls. The new
units will replacing a 2000 and 2002 unit that have both experienced heavy usage and high miles
and continue to require costly service and maintenance needs exceeding their values. The
compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel option is available on this chassis engine and both CNG and
gasoline engine option costs were requested within the bid specifications.
ANALYSIS
Working in conjunction with the Street Division, Purchasing reviewed and prepared proposals
seeking vendors for this unit. Bids were advertised in the local paper and posted online on
NovusVendor. Bids were received on June 4, 2013. The bid tab is attached. The Street Division
and Purchasing reviewed the bids received and concluded they met the minimum bid
specifications. As the attached bid tab reflects, the CNG option for both units adds an additional
$29,210 to the total cost. However, based on current CNG fuel costs (approximately 50% less
than gasoline) it is estimated the CNG option could realize a payback in less than seven years.
Given this payback and the operational needs of these units staff recommends the CNG option be
pursued.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total net fiscal impact of the CNG chassis,the trade-ins and the flip-top service bodies will be
$99,748. These units were budgeted in the 2013 Major Equipment CIP at $140,000. Funding for
these units would be charged to A/N#: 541-1810-1788-00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award the chassis bid to L&S Truck Center for
$47,424 and award the flip-top service bodies and CNG conversion equipment to Casper's Truck
Equipment for $52,324. It should be noted these prices are for two units.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
