Title
Consider bid results for one custom pumper for Foley Fire Department
Summary
DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC: (who, what, when, where, why, and how much)
Request consideration in accepting the low bid from NAFECO for one custom pumper for the Fire Department. Per approval at 11-19-2012 work session, bids were solicited and opened on 2-20-2013 at 2:00 p.m. NAFECO was the lowest responsible bid at $383,250.00 for the apparatus and $16,582.00 for the loose equipment, for a total of $399,832.00. NAFECO is offering a pre-payment discount from the manufacturer (KME) of $10,662.00 for 100% payment at the time of the pre-construction conference (within 4 weeks of contract countersigning by KME). Also recommend to take advantage of the discount due to our current funds status. This would reduce the total apparatus bid price to $372,588.00. The budget for this capital purchase in the FY13 budget in the Fire Ad Valorem Fund Account 02-600-7010 is $400,000.00. Request approval to use the remaining $10,830, if needed, for any necessary design changes during the construction process, for a total project cost not to exceed $400,000. As per the FY13 Budget, $100,000 is to be transferred from the General Fund Account 01-680-0168 to the Fire Ad Valorem Fund to help offset the total cost. Also, any revenue generated from the future sale of the 1995 E-One custom pumper being replaced will be deposited in the General Fund to help offset the transfer.
