MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT BIDS
On February 19, 1991 at the regular Council meeting, Staff was authorized
to obtain bids for the following equipment:
1 - Tractor/Mower with 3 Rotary Decks
1 - Four Wheel Drive Utility Tractor with cab, front mount snowblower
and rear mount mower
1 - Snowplow for a one ton truck
These bids were received and opened on March 5, 1991 at 10:00 a.m. The bid
tabulation sheet shows the bid price for each item. Upon review of the
bids Staff has prepared the following recommendations for Councils
consideration.
The low bid for the mower was received from MacQueen Equipment, Inc. The
base bid for the equipment specified was $39,130.00. the options bid were
4 -wheel drive for $6,200.00, Turbo charger on the engine for $1,995.00 and
six fast wing decks for $520.00 for the total shown on the bid tabulation
sheet of $47,845.00. After discussion with Staff it has been determined
that two options can be eliminated to help control costs. Those options
are four-wheel drive and turbo. These two items create a total deduct of
$8,195.00. Subtracting this amount from $47,845.00 we arrive at
$39,650.00. Based upon this price we are asking for Council authorization
to award the bid and order the mower from MacQueen Equipment, Inc.
The low bid for the four wheel drive utility tractor, snowblower and mower
was received from H & W Equipment in New Prague in the amount of
$30,120.00. The tractor and mower bid by this company does not meet the
specification for horsepower and mower offset. The tractor bid is one
classification smaller than the size specified and the mower is not offset
enough to be compatible with existing equipment.
The next lowest bid was received from a local vendor, Carlson Tractor. The
tractor and equipment bid by Carlson do meet all specs. The difference in
the bid total $1,313.00.
Based upon delivery time, availability of local service, compatibility with
existing equipment and the ability to stock exchangeable parts, it is
Staffs recommendation to award the bid and order delivery of equipment from
the local dealer, Carlson Ford Tractor.
The bids for the snowplow to be mounted on the one ton truck are both being
rejected by Staff with concurrence from Council due to lack of bid bond
being enclosed with bid. It is Staff's intention to seek quotations from
suppliers of this type of equipment. The two bidders we had for the
snowplow will be included in those asked for quotation.
I will be at the meeting to discuss this item more if Council desires to.
I will answer any questions you may have.
