The Aviation Department (Aviation) will use this snow plow truck with spreader equipment options for snow removal and deicing of runway and taxiway surfaces at City of Fort Worth Airports. The unit will allow airports to remain open for public access during periods of winter weather and will be utilized for various maintenance tasks throughout the warmer months of the year.
The new unit will replace a 1987 GMC dump truck that can no longer be economically maintained. The old unit will be sold at auction. The new unit meets the needs of Aviation and is expected to operate satisfactorily over its service life of 20 years and 151,000 miles. Warranty information, manufacturer's Statement of Origin, and original sales invoice will accompany the new unit upon acceptance and delivery to the 4100 Columbus Trail facility.
TOTAL OWNERSHIP COST - $278,883.00 over service life of 20 years (See Attached TCO Tabulation).
DELIVERY - The unit will be delivered within 180 days after receipt of a purchase order.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item(s) under a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item(s). Buyboard Cooperative Contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of government entities.
PRICE ANALYSIS - The pricing is 7.35 percent higher than a previous pricing awarded by City Council on September 26, 2014 (M&C P-11700). Staff reviewed the pricing and determined it to be fair and reasonable.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to $100,000.00 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. |
