SUBJECT:
Resolution to accept the low bid from Advantage Chevrolet for two cargo vans in the amount of $49,635.00 for the Central Services and Police Patrol Divisions.
PURPOSE:
The Central Services and Police Patrol Divisions operate cargo vans. Both divisions have been approved in the 2018 budget replacement vans that meet the replacement criteria for the respected class of vehicles
BACKGROUND:
The City solicited bids from six area GMC and Chevrolet dealers but only Advantage Chevrolet submitted a bid. Advantage, located at 9510 Joliet Road in Hodgkins, Illinois submitted a bid of $23,319 for the Central Services 2500 van and $26,316 for the Police 3500 van for a total of $49,635.00.
Advantage did make an $875 deduction in the price for the Police van due to an error in their bid. Since the 4.8L engine is no longer available Advantage's original bid included the optional 6.0L engine when in fact Aurora wanted the standard equipment 4.3L engine.
