Resolution to accept the bid from Coffman Truck in the amount of $24,291 for a 2016 2500 cargo van and the approval to have Mavron reinstall an animal interior in this van for $14,255 for Aurora's Animal Control Division as a sole source.
PURPOSE:

The Mavron interior will be reused from unit 17-770. By reusing this interior the City is saving approximately $3,000. Since Mavron is the manufacturer of the interior they are a sole source for the upfitting of the 2016 GMC 2500 cargo van with a Mavron AVL-5D animal interior.
DISCUSSION:
The purchase of a new van with a Mavron interior will assure that the Animal Control Division has the equipment to perform their main task of animal restraint
In account 215-1745-440-7520 there is $25,000 budgeted to purchase a new van.
In account 215-1745-440-3889 there is $25,000 budgeted for the setup of the interior of this van for a Mavron AVL-5D interior.
