SUMMARY
Funds were allocated in the approved Equipment Replacement Fund budget for fiscal year 2013-14 to replace one street pothole asphalt patch truck.
A bid solicitation was prepared by the Purchasing Department to provide the referenced vehicle in compliance with specifications developed for that purpose. The bid was advertised electronically on Planet Bids and was also advertised in the Star News in accordance with Purchasing Rules and Regulations. Three vendors submitted a formal bid response. The lowest bidder, Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc., was deemed non responsive. Staff recommends that the bid be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, San Diego Freightliner.
The capital Equipment Replacement Fund includes a budget of $143,900 for replacement of the patch truck. The total bid price including taxes is $182,768.10. Staff recommends amending the fiscal year 2013-14 Equipment Replacement Fund budget and appropriating $38,868 to the capital expenses category.
