ONE (1) ONE TON HEAVY DUTY CREW CAB AND CHASSIS – UTILITIES – #B08022

 

Utilities Department requested bids for a one ton heavy duty crew cab and chassis.  This truck is an addition to the fleet and is necessary to meet increased work load created to meet the American Water Works Association standards for valve and hydrant maintenance.  It will be used to maintain valves and hydrants not accessible from the curb.  The truck will haul staff and up to 8000 lbs. of tools, valves, hydrants, and will also pull an equipment trailer.  The bid included an option for a hydraulic crane and an option for hydraulic tools.  All bidders bid $10,746.00 for the crane, included in the price, and all bidders bid $12,900.00 for the hydraulic tools, not included in the price.  Utilities wishes to accept the bid including the crane and reject the option for the hydraulic tools.  This purchase was approved in the 2008 budgeting process.
