A Resolution authorizing a sole purchase of four central hydraulic systems, attachments, plows and installation from Bonnell Industries Inc. in Dixon, Illinois, for the amount of $374,500.
Explanation: Fleet Services has purchased four incomplete cab and chassis units for the Street Division of Public Works. City staff published a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) for the central hydraulic systems and installation to operate the Swaploader hook-lifts and snowplows for this equipment and installation in the 2016 budget year. Bonnell Industries in Dixon, Illinois, submitted the proposal most advantageous to the City. Bonnell Industries has now extended that same pricing discount to the City of Moline for the upfitting of the four units currently on order. As Fleet Services has done in the past, staff sought out price verification for recent solicitations secured through competitive bidding. The City of Rock Island and McHenry are two customers that recently entered into contracts with Bonnell Industries Inc., as they were the low responsive and responsible bidder in the examples attached. The total price for equipment and installation for all four units is $374,500. Additional documentation attached.
