| RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the Purchase of Nine Agricultural-Type Tractors for the Road Division - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board authorize the county to utilize the National Joint Powers Alliance Contract #021815-DAC and award a Purchase Order to Deere & Company, in the amount of $391,070.70, for nine 2016 John Deere Model 6105E 2WD, over 100HP, agricultural-type tractors for the Road Division, according to the specifications of VE 15-16.001. The Purchasing Department posted the request on the Escambia County Website for 30 days, with no responses.
[Funding Source: Fund 175, "Transportation Trust Fund", Cost 210405, Object Code 56401] |
| BACKGROUND: |
Meeting in regular session on September 24, 2015, the Board of County Commissioners approved purchase of these units. However, due to a discontinuation of the production model upgrade to the 6105E model tractor, a subsequent price increase was effected before a purchase order could be processed. The specifications were advertised again as VE 15-16.001 on the Escambia County website for 30 days beginning December 14, 2015, with no other responsive quotes received.
These agricultural tractors, upon purchase, will replace nine like models in the current fleet; the current units will be auctioned as surplus. These new units will facilitate the continuation of the Road Division's Right-of-Way Maintenance program. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
| Funds are available in Fund 175 "Transportation Trust Fund", Cost Center 210405, Object Code 56401. |
