TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Joseph Hopp, Superintendent Maintenance Services
DATE: January 12, 2016
SUBJECT:
Recommendation to purchase 3 new heavy duty trucks from the Illinois Department of Central Management Services Master Contracts for the W & S Maintenance Division in the amount not to exceed $525,000.00.
PURPOSE:
To replace three trucks that have met the replacement criteria in their respective vehicle class.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Aurora can purchase new trucks from the Illinois Department of Central Management Services ("IDCMS") Master Contracts. IDCMS solicit bids for new vehicles from various truck dealers thus the City can forego duplicating the bidding process.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
The purchase of 3 new heavy duty trucks will reduce the maintenance and repair costs for the W & S Maintenance Division and improve the reliability of the fleet
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of 3 new heavy duty trucks in the amount not to exceed $525,000.00 from the Illinois Department of Central Management Services Master Contracts for the W & S Maintenance Division.
