RE: Award Mobile Storage Unit for Oshkosh Public Museum
BACKGROUND
The Common Council approved $75,000 in the Major Equipment Replacement Fund of the 2014
CIP for storage upgrade at the Oshkosh Public Museum. The Museum is seeking to maximize its
existing collections storage space through the use of customized moveable aisle units. Because
the Museum's existing collection storage space is at a premium, it is absolutely critical to make
the most efficient use of every square foot. The use of this type of storage unit improves space
efficiency by approximately 40 %. The museum previously installed a mobile storage unit on the
first floor of the Carriage House in 2012. This bid would be to provide another mobile storage
unit to be installed on the 2 "d floor of the Carriage House. In preparation for this storage upgrade
the Museum had the Carriage House 2"d floor structurally reinforced in 2013.
ANALYSIS
Working with Museum staff, Purchasing prepared bid specifications to solicit vendors that could
provide mobile storage units. Bids were advertised on our online NovusVendor system and in the
local paper. Bids were received on April 8, 2014. The bid tab is attached. Purchasing and
Museum staff reviewed the low bid from Montel of $55,490 and concluded their mobile storage
unit met the minimum bid specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this bid is $55,490. This project was allocated $75,000 in the Major
Equipment Replacement Fund of the 2014 CIP. This project can be charged to A/N #: 323 -1070-
7204- 06419.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this project to Montel for $55,490.
Respectfully Submitted,
Jon Urben, General Services Manager
Approved:
