PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

Bids were received on January 31, 2017 for a number of new collection trucks for the Solid Waste division of the Public Works Department.  Staff advertised for sealed bids on January 12, January 19 and January 26, 2017.  The purchases will replace existing vehicles that are included in the approved Equipment Replacement Plan for FY 2017 and are included in the FY 2017 budget for the Solid Waste division.  Because the trucks are dissimilar, staff broke the bid into four schedules and will recommend award to the lowest bidder on each one. 

Schedule I  Two new tandem tilt cab, 2017 or newer model, 62,000 GVW, cab and rear load chassis. Six bids were received and Jack's Truck and Equipment was the low bidder.
 
Schedule II Three new tandem tilt cab, 2017 or newer model, 62,000 GVW cab and side load chassis with right steer and minimum 27-cubic yard automated refuse compactor body. Twelve bids were received and Montana Peterbuilt was the low bidder.
 
Schedule III One new tandem tilt cab, 2017 or newer model, 62,000 GVW cab and chassis and 40-cubic yard half pack front load refuse compactor body. Nine bids were received and Montana Peterbuilt was the low bidder.
 
Schedule IV Two new tandem conventional cab, 2017 or newer model, 62,000 GVW, set-back axle, cab and chassis with chain operated roll-on/roll-off hoist system. Three bids were received and I-State Truck Center was the low bidder.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED

The Council may:
  • Approve purchasing the units listed above; or
  • Disapprove the purchases and reject all bids.  If the bids are rejected, the units will not be replaced in a timely manner and the existing units will be used beyond the recommendations of the Equipment Replacement Committee and the Public Works Department.  Maintenance costs will increase and reliability will decrease.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The Solid Waste Division's FY 2017 budget includes adequate funds to replace the vehicles described.  The City received bids from various bidders. A 5 year warranty for the engine and transmission is included in the bid. The bid summary is as follows:
