~UBJECT PURCHASE OF A NEW TRUCK CHASSIS FROM AN INTERLOCAL PURCHASING
PROGRAM FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Authorize the purchase of a new truck chassis from an interlocal purchasing program for the Fire
Department at a cost not to exceed $62,511 56 with payment due within 30 days of the date of the
invoice Freight is included in the unit price (The interlocal purchasing program to be utilized will
be with pricing established in the City of Bedford (Bid No 02-0509A) and will be purchased from the
successful vendor, International Trucks of Houston), and
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
New Equipment Purchases Fund by $62,511 56, to be obtained through the City's Equipment Note
program approved by the City Council on February 9, 1999 (M&C G-12462), Ordinance No 13701
DISCUSSION
The truck chassis is a replacement for the City's uneconomically repairable unit that will be sold at
auction and was part of the FY2001-2002 adopted budget that approved the replacement equipment as
part of the new equipment replacement plan The chassis will be used to complete the unit initially
identified in M&C P-9684, approved by the City Council on October 1, 2002 Firefighters will use this
equipment in the rescue and protection of the citizens of Fort Worth
The Fire Department has reviewed the pricing of the equipment, which is based on the City of Bedford
Bid No 02-0509A. The Fire Department finds the cost to be reasonable Under Section 271 102(c) of
the Texas Local Government Code, a local government purchasing an item under such a contract
satisfies any state law requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the
item
M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/1/VBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods is from
sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible
