Body
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2014-15 Fixed Asset Fund for vehicle/equipment replacement includes one replacement street sweeper for the Public Works Department. The vehicle being replaced meets the recommended replacement criteria based on life cycle costs, age, and utilization and supports the Infrastructure and Assets Guiding Principle.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Farmers Branch requested a quotation from the Houston Galveston Area Cooperative. City Administration evaluated the quotation as to meeting specifications and desire to award the purchase of the replacement equipment to Kinloch Equipment and Supply.
The FY 2014-15 budget amount for the street sweeper is $220,000. The quotation came in at $236,247. This amount is $16,247 over the anticipated budgeted amount, which will be funded through available funds in the Public Works Storm Water Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended motion by City Administration to approve Resolution No. 2015-045 authorizing the purchase of one replacement street sweeper for the Public Works Department from Kinloch Equipment and Supply through the Houston Galveston Area Cooperative.
