RE: Award Bid to WL Streich Equipment Co. Inc. for Commercial Dishwasher for Oshkosh
Convention Center ($56,953.00)
BACKGROUND
The primary commercial dishwasher within the Oshkosh Convention Center (OCC) kitchen is 30+
years old and well beyond the typical life expectancy for its use. This dishwasher is a critical appliance
within the OCC kitchen operations. In the 2015 OCC Foodservice Equipment Survey and Assessment
this dishwasher was identified as the top replacement priority, due to its ongoing repairs to address
water leaks and to ensure proper temperatures for sanitization of dishware. While every attempt was
made to address the various breakdowns of this unit, repairs were no longer feasible, given the age and
condition of the unit. In June, City staff reviewed these issues with the OCC operator (Oshkosh
Investors LLC) and confirmed that immediate replacement was necessary and warranted. Stewart
Design Associates, Inc. was then engaged to work with Facilities Maintenance staff, the operator's head
chef and kitchen/beverage director to research and prepare bid specifications for this unit replacement.
ANALYSIS
Working with Stewart Design Associates, Inc., Purchasing prepared bid specifications for this unit. The
bid was advertised in the newspaper and sent to all known commercial dishwasher firms. Bids were
due July 28, 2016. The bid tab is attached. Based on the bid review, it was the consensus of Stewart
Design Associates Inc. and City staff that the low bid received from WL Streich Equipment Co. Inc. met
all the minimum bid requirements. Stewart Design Associates Inc.'s energy audit indicates the new
dishwasher will be much more energy efficient —using an estimated 74% less water per year and
saving approximately $19,565 in total annual water, sewage and utility costs. Upon award the new
unit is expected to be installed and operational in 4 -8 weeks.
FISCAL IMPACT
The low bid for this project is $56,953.00. This bid, added to Stewart Design Associates, Inc.'s design
fees of $5,600.00 brings the total fiscal impact of this project to $62,553.00. Staff is recommending this
project be funded through the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation (OACF) Convention Center
Maintenance Fund. Council may recall this fund was established with the OACF to help with the care
or upkeep of the Center which may include professional design, installation and /or other maintenance,
City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903-1130 http: / /www.ci.oshkosh.wi.us
in addition to major kitchen appliances. The City contributes $40,000 annually towards this fund and
the fund currently has a balance of approximately $240,000.00. Subtracting the total project costs of
$62,553.00 from this fund will leave it with a balance of approximately $177,000.00. This project will be
charged to A /N# 503 - 1040 - 1786 -00000 and the City will bill the OACF for this expense and request
reimbursement to also be run through this fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this bid to WL Streich Equipment Co. Inc. for
$56,953.00.
Respectfully Submitted,
Approved:
