Request to approve a purchase of a used 2012 Ford F550 with an Altec Electrical Aerial bucket for the Electrical Maintenance Division from Global Industries as a sole source in the amount of $48,000.00.
PURPOSE:
The purchase of this aerial bucket truck will assure that the Electrical Maintenance Division has a reliable aerial bucket truck for the maintenance and repairs of street lights and traffic signals.
BACKGROUND:
The Electrical Maintenance Division has two aerial bucket trucks that are used to maintain and repair above ground electrical light assemblies. An additional bucket truck will improve the efficiency of the Electrical Maintenance Division so that they can have trucks equipped to do multiple tasks without having to travel back to shop for an aerial truck.
DISCUSSION:
Global Industries, located at 33 Inverness Center Pkwy, Birmingham, Alabama, has a used 2012 Ford F550 equipped with an Altec AT40G aerial bucket with a utility body. This unit was used in their rental fleet. Global has submitted a proposal to purchase this truck for $65,000.00 minus $17,000 in trade-in credit (two trucks) that makes the purchase price $48,000.00.
There are funds available in the 2015 Electrical Maintenance for this purchase. A budget transfer will be requested if this item is approved for the Consent Agenda to account 215-4020-418-7510.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There is no impact on other departments and/or divisions.
