Award Bid for Brine Production System for Street Division to Monroe Truck
Equipment ($63,768)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $65,000 in the 2016 Major Equipment CIP to purchase a brine
production system for the Street Division to be installed in the new salt shed building within the
Field Operations Facility complex. Brine is applied by city snowplow trucks on streets during the
winter to expedite snow/ice melting. In the past the city has had to purchase brine from
Winnebago County and transport the brine back to the Field Operations Facility for trucks to fll
up before going out. The new salt shed building was built with plumbing for the eventual
installation of a brine production system. Having a system on site will reduce transport costs and
improve the efficiency of brine application during snow/ice removal operations.
ANALYSIS
Working with the Street Division, Purchasing reviewed and prepared bid specifications seeking
vendors for this system. Bids were received on February 23, 2016. The bid tab is attached.
While two bids were initially received, one of the bids submitted was for a brine production
system that did not meet the minimum specifications requirements for the salt hopper size,
dumping width, interior hopper material/resin coating and brine production output per hour.
Because their system did not meet the needs of this unit it was rejected from the bid process.
Staff analysis of the remaining bid for this unit did not raise any concerns and met minimum bid
specifications. Delivery, installation and training are included in the bid.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of this bid is $63,768. This item was budgeted in the 2016 Major
Equipment CIP at $65,000. This project will be charged to A/N# 323-0430-7204-06624.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this bid to Monroe Truck Equipment for
$63,768.
Respectfully Submitted,
