Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to Approve multiple acquisitions of less than $25,000 each to Southern Sewer Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. for parts and services for VAC-Con Industrial Vacuum, Sweepers, Way Trucks, and Jet Eye Camera Systems in a total not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 for Fiscal Year 2017.
Body
Background:
The Fleet Division in the Environmental Services Department has an on-going requirement for VAC-Con Industrial Vacuum, Sweepers, Way Trucks, and Jet Eye Camera Systems parts and services in order to properly maintain the City fleet of vehicles. Southern Sewer Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. frequently provides the lowest quotes for these types of goods and services and the Fleet Division is requesting approval to use Southern Sewer Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. for multiple purchases during Fiscal Year 2017 in a not to exceed amount of $50,000. To date in Fiscal Year 2017, Southern Sewer Equipment Sales and Service, Inc. has been awarded orders totaling $10,156.99.
Spending amount over the past three years
2016- $25,195.43
2015- $223,430.29
2014- $21,107.57
By approving the recommended motion, the Commission is recognizing that multiple small and unpredictable purchase decisions that are likely to occur over the course of the year will total over $25,000. This amount of spending requires prior Commission approval under the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.03(B), "Multiple Acquisitions From Vendor Exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in Any Fiscal Year".
