AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Consider approval to purchase a 2024 ALTEC Articulating Overcenter Aerial Lift Truck for the Forestry Division of the Parks & Recreation Department for the amount of $223,952.00, utilizing cooperative purchase pricing under Sourcewell Contract #110421-ALT, or take other necessary action. (Mark Wilkerson)
BACKGROUND:
The current aerial lift truck in use by the Forestry Division of the Parks & Recreation Department was put into service in 1994. For 30 years this ALTEC brand unit has worked admirably in our forestry duties, our Garden of Lights endeavors, and many other unique responsibilities of the department as they arose. But this unit is now having serious operational and safety issues that continue to arise. It is now costing us a significant sum of money and lost man hours in productivity to keep this unit operational and safe. In fiscal 2023-24, a new unit was budgeted but the waiting list for delivery of trucks is between one and two years. A forestry company from Muncie, Indiana canceled an order with ALTEC, who contacted the Parks Department to make them aware of an available unit. This unit (ALTEC model LR8-60E70RM) is the same working height as the existing ALTEC unit used by the Forestry Division. The chassis (Freightliner M2-106) is the same truck currently in service in the Sanitation Division and the Fleet Department already has personnel experienced on these trucks and parts for maintenance & service are already in stock. The unit is offered to the City of Muskogee under Sourcewell Contract #110421-ALT and the purchase has been endorsed by Fleet Director Robert Swepston. The purchase amount is funded in account 213-7520-452.64-10.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommend approval to purchase this ALTEC Model LR8-60E70RM Articulating Overcenter Aerial Truck from ALTEC Industries, Inc. for the amount of $223,952.00.
