Title
Re-award the Purchase of One Replacement Medium-Duty Cab and Chassis Vehicle equipped with a Telescopic Crane for the Water Resources Department (Citywide)
On February 9, 2015, Council awarded a contract for this purchase to Peoria Ford (PFVT) and the vendor was notified of the City's intent to award. PFVT could not hold their pricing 180 days as specified in the contract, apparently driven by Ford's new pricing update. Berge Ford is willing to hold their pricing for 180 days and the additional cost is $3,338.80.
Fleet Services, Water Resources and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the second lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Berge Ford (a Mesa business), at $47,901.24. This purchase is funded by the Utility Replacement Extension and Renewal Fund.
