The • <br /> bids were reviewed and the Ruffridge Johnson bid was rejected due <br /> to non-compliance with specifications. <br /> The ABM bid was for a total of $192,138 including an optional in <br /> -cab remote operating pendant. Sales tax on this vehicle comes to <br /> $12 ,488.97 and a trade-in value for the current unit was quoted <br /> at $32,000 . The budgeted amount of $199 ,989 will not cover the <br /> total cost of the unit with necessary emergency lights and radio <br /> (to be installed later) . Considering the trade-in value of <br /> $32,000, the additional amount necessary is $10,729. <br /> This unit is also used in cleaning storm sewers. Approximately <br /> 10% of the use of the vehicle is for cleaning catch basins and <br /> manholes on storm sewer lines. Therefore, staff recommends that <br /> the additional funds necessary be appropriated from the Storm <br /> Water Management Fund. We are receiving bids on the current unit <br /> and can sell it separately if we receive more than the proposed <br /> trade-in value. Any additional funds that become available from <br /> this possibility could be deposited back into the Storm Water <br /> Management Fund. <br /> Currently, the Storm Water Management Fund has an approximate <br /> balance of $182,000. <br /> L-4'4'; <br /> Ric Mi O <br /> City Engineer/Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the bid for a Vactor Sewer Jet-Rodder <br /> be awarded to ABM Equipment Co. in the amount of the bid of $192, 13 <br /> plus sales tax of $12 ,489; $193 ,898 charged to account no. 730-4121-70 <br /> and $10,729 charged to account no. 420-4121-704. <br />
