Recommendation
Motion to Award a Purchase Agreement to ARI Phoenix, Inc. for Vehicles Lifts and Equipment in an annual amount not-to-exceed of $36,375.
Body
Background:
On March 17, 2017, the City advertised a solicitation for Vehicles Lifts and Equipment (ITB No.2017-050). Two responses were received; from ARI Phoenix, Inc. and O'Reilly Automotive Stores, Inc. DBA O'Reilly Auto Parts. O'Reilly did not provide a quote on the brand and model lift specified, which was one of the minimum qualification requirements in the ITB and was deemed non-responsible.
The vehicle lifts and related equipment will provide the needed resources required to perform maintenance and repairs to City Fire-Rescue vehicles as well as other heavy trucks and equipment. Currently, there are multiple vehicle lifts that are inoperable, hindering the ability of the City Fleet Management Division to perform the level of service necessary for maintain the City vehicles in a timely manner. The City has standardized on ARI-HETRA Vehicle Lifts
The bid submitted by ARI Phoenix for the purchase of four ARI-HETRA heavy duty mobile lifts was $36,375. Environmental Services Department is recommending award to ARI Phoenix, Inc.
This recommendation complies with the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.02 (A), "Methods of Acquisition, Sealed Competitive Method".
