The Public Events Department will use these two new off-road forklifts at the Will Rogers Memorial Center for large sized inventory relocation and storage. The new units will be replacements for old units that can no longer be economically maintained. The old units will be sold at auction upon delivery and acceptance of the new units. The new forklifts meet required specifications and are expected to operate satisfactorily during their service life of 11 years for each unit. Warranty information, manufacturer's Statement of Origin and original sales invoice will accompany the new units upon delivery to the 4100 Columbus Trail facility.
PRICE ANALYSIS - The City has no recent comparable purchase history of forklifts with these configurations. Staff has reviewed the prices and found them to be fair and reasonable based on current market values.
TOTAL OWNERSHIP COST - $94,752.00 over service life of 11 years (see attached tabulation). DELIVERY - The units will be delivered within 60 days after receipt of a purchase order.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing item(s) under a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item(s). Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of government entities.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to $12,845.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
M/WBE OFFICE - A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible.
