Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: John M. Alston, Water/Sewer Superintendent
Debbie Arkell Public Services Director
Chuck Winn Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Award Bid for 2011 Dump Truck
MEETING DATE: April 26, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Agenda
RECOMMENDATION: Award bid in the amount of $105,146.00 to Motor Power &
Equipment for a 2011 Kenworth T370 Dump Truck.
BACKGROUND: Four bids were received for a 2011 10-yard Dump Truck for use in the
Water/Sewer Operations Department. After reviewing the bids submitted, the Kenworth T370,
at $105,146.00, meets or exceeds our requirements with one exception. The exception is for
training which is not needed due to the fact we have previously received training for this type of
truck and body.
Four bids were received. All bids were over the $93,600.00 budgeted. This was mainly due to
new Federal emissions standards that were implemented after the amount was set.
Freightliner M2 106 w/Williamsen Body $96,880.38 8 exceptions
Kenworth T370 w/Henderson Body $105,146.00 1 exception
Peterbilt 348 w/Williamsen Body $107,983.00 3 exceptions
Peterbilt 348 w/Henderson Body $111,633.00 2 exceptions
We are recommending the low bid from Freightliner be rejected due to the fact that a Henderson
Body was specified and a Williamsen Body was supplied and Dana Splicer axles were specified
with Mertitor axles supplied. Our Selection Committee felt that with the heavy wet loads we
carry that the Henderson Body and Dana Splicer axles will withstand the use we put on our
dump trucks and will serve us for many years.

UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: This item is in the FY 10 Wastewater CIP and budget. $93,600 was
budgeted for this truck, which is $11,546.00 more than the price of the truck. That amount will
be covered by fuel savings, and delaying purchases. Those purchases would have been air struts
for trench shoring $9,624.00 and a trench shoring cushion kit that fills in voids in a ditch during a
trench rescue for $2,793.00.
