RE: ITEMS FOR THE JANUARY 19, 1988 COUNCIL MEETING
OLD BUSINESS
Receive Bids/Award Contract for 1988 Street Sweeper `
As the Council directed at the December 15, 1987 Council meeting, Staff
readvertised for a 1988 Street Sweeper or a 1987 Demo Unit with less than 100
hours on it. Bids were opened at 10:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 13, 1988 with
the low and only bidder being MacQueen Equipment at a net base bid of $55,780.00
for an Elgin Pelican HH Dual Model Street Sweeper. (The base cost of this unit
was $75,585.00 and the trade-in allowance for our 1974 Sweeper was $19,805.00.)
For Councils information, the previous base bid from MacQueen Equipment for a
similar make and model was $56,280.00 or $500.00 more than the current bid..
The make and model that MacQueen Equipment bid, Elgin Pelican HH Dual, complies
with our specifications for a diesel -powered combination pickup sweeper and front
end unloader. Therefore, Staff recommends that Council award the low bid of
$55,780.00 to MacQueen Equipment, Inc. for a 1988 Diesel -Powered Combination
Pickup Sweeper and Front End Unloader.
