RE: Bid Award- Passenger Waiting Shelters for Transportation Department
BACKGROUND
The Common Council approved $30,000 in GO Transit's 2013 capital outlay budget to
purchase five passenger waiting shelters ("bus shelters"). GO Transit currently utilizes
passenger waiting shelters at transfer locations and bus stops along routes through the
City of Oshkosh. These new passenger waiting shelters would replace existing shelters
purchased in 1980 and add shelters to a few locations along the new bus routes.
Transportation staff will install and construct these shelters.
ANALYSIS
In conjunction with the Transportation Department, Purchasing reviewed and prepared
shelter bid specifications to solicit to vendors. Bids were advertised in the local paper,
sent to known shelter suppliers and was posted online on the City's NovusVendor online
vendor notification system and the State of Wisconsin's Vendornet. Bids were received
on October 31, 2013. The bid tab is attached. Purchasing reviewed the bids received and
concluded the low bid from Handi-Hut meets the minimum bid specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
These five shelters will have a total fiscal impact of$19,400 which is within the amount
approved in GO Transit's capital outlay budget. The unit cost per shelter is $3,880.
Federal and state grant funding will cover 56% of the purchase price ($10,864) with the
remaining 44% ($8,536) covered by City funds. Funding for this project will be charged
to Transit Utility's capital outlay A/N#: 511-1728-1754-00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this bid to Handi-Hut Inc. for
$19,400.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
