RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING THE CONTRACT FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF A WATER TANKER BODY TO STEPP MFG CO INC.
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept bids for the
installation of a water tanker body and award the contract to Stepp Mfg Co Inc.
Passage of this motion enables the fabrication and installation of a water tanker body
on a City provided cab and chassis.
Overview
The current water tanker based on a 1988 cab and chassis, repurposed from a
snowplow. The tanker body was installed in 2000 and has seen a variety of uses over
its lifetime, from flooding rinks to supporting the Vactor in clearing frozen storm sewers
to pre- wetting the pavement ahead of street sweepers. Its use is limited by its
configuration.
The Operations & Maintenance Department advertised for bids on 16 June 2011 and
sent bid packages to five vendors interested in supplying the tanker body. Bids were
received from two vendors and opened on 6 July 2011. The bid from Stepp Mfg Co Inc
at $76,270.28 represents the least cost to the City while meeting all of the specifications
for the water tanker body.
Staff has reviewed and evaluated the bids, recommends their acceptance and award of
the contract to Stepp Mfg Co Inc.
Primary Issues to Consider
• The need to replace the existing water tanker. Maintenance costs for the cab and
chassis are increasing annually. The tanker body is rusting and is not repairable.
The water tanker is limited in design and does not support the variety of street
maintenance needs.
