Property Management Department
Re: Water Dept. Trailer Mounted Trash Pumps, Water and Sewer Capital Projects
Property Management Department recommends that the Purchasing Division issue a purchase order to RWN
Contractors, for the purchase of Two (2) Trailer Mounted Trash Pumps. These units are being purchased from the
vendor as a result of City of Fort Worth Invitation to bid 19-0131. We are accepting the lowest, and so{e response
from RWN Contractors, as it meets all specifications.
These units will be replacement in the fleet for units that are no longer feasible to repair or maintain. These units will
be used to support Water Department Maintenance & Operations.
The TCO is estimated based on anticipated monthly expenditures for maintenance and fuel costs as per historical
data from the City's fleet, see attached chart. Life expectancy is an average of 15 years. Department staff reviewed
the proposed pricing and certified that the price offered is fair and reasonable based on the bids received.
The total cost of the Two (2) units for Water Department as specified in the attached documentation is $139,159.53
(Water 2831, 2104)). The contact for RWN Contractors is Walter McKey (817) 219-9773.
The recommended unit quantity is consistent and cost will require additional funds that will be absorbed through
savings on other purchases within the Water and Sewer Capital Projects budget. No specific configurations of this
equipment have been purchased in previous years. MBE website was checked and no MBE's were found.
The equipment meets the established requirements and should operate satisfactorily over its service life. Warranty
information, Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (if applicable) and Original Sales Invoice will accompany the
equipment upon receipt to the City.
Please contact Sky Cheney (817) 392-2008 if any assistance or further information is needed.
