Subject:
Contract No. 17-10, Telephone Line Truck - 2017 Vehicle Acquisition Project
In adopting the 2017 KPU annual budget, the City Council appropriated $465,000 to the Telecommunications Division for the replacement of vehicles and improvement of the fleet. Included in this budget was a "Telephone Line Truck" to be used for construction and repair work. Bid documents for the project were compiled and publically advertised for bids on February 25, 2017. Sealed bids were opened on March 29, 2017 at 2:00pm in the City Counci l Chambers. Four bidders responded with a complete bid packet: Magnum Enterprises
$201,798.26
Time Manufacturing Company
$171,810.00
Altec Industries Inc.
$164,542.00
RWC International Ltd.
$227,401.00
Notice of Intent to Award was issued on April 4, 2017 for Time Manufacturing Company. KPU Telecommunications is recommending the Contract No. 17-10 be awarded to Time Manufacturing Company in the amount of $171 ,810. Time Manufacturing ($171 ,400) is being recommended over Altec's lower bid ($164,252) for two primary reasons: 1. In keeping with the vehicle's "Product Specifications" requirements, T ime had the most Compliant bid. For example, and most critically, we specified outriggers with a maximum spread of 153" (item 18c). Time met the outrigger specification. Altec failed to meet this specification, offering instead an outrigger spread of 103". 2. Time had the best delivery date (240 days/8 months). Altec specified a delivery time of 300 -330 days (10- 11 months). A 5% Contingency is recommended in the amount of $8,590.00 for a total project cost of $180,400.00. Funding will come from the 2017 Vehicle Acquisition capital budget account.
Recommended Motion:
I move the City Council award Contract 17-10, "Telephone Line Truck" to Time Manufacturing Company in an amount of $171 ,810.00; establishing a contingency of $8,590.00 for a total project cost of $180,400.00 from the 2017 Vehicle Acquisition capital account; and directing the City Manager to execute the contract on its behalf. cc:
