CR 10-108 Award of Bid for Automated Refuse Truck BodyG�TY OF October 5. 2010 1*Council Report 2010-108 HOPKINS AWARD OF BID FOR AUTOMATED REFUSE TRUCK BODY Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Award Bid for (1) Automated Refuse Truck Body to McQueen Equipment for the purchase of one Rapid Rail 20 yard packer at a cost of $113,318." Overview The bid opening for one Automated Refuse Truck was held at Hopkins City Hall on September 17, 2010. The truck specification was for the purchase of a fully automatic Refuse Collection Body. This Body will be mounted on a City supplied new Cab - Chassis. The City purchased a new Cab -Chassis off a State of MN contract in July of 2010 for $66,974. The amount budgeted 2010 for the complete unit is $184,000. The reason the Cab -Chassis was purchased separately was to insure that the completed unit would fit our type of application. Also there is a cost savings by having the City purchase the cab and chassis instead of the body manufacturer, as the body manufacturer would not receive a government discount. • Due to specialized use of this type of Refuse Body and the specifications only one bid was received. Staff's recommendation for purchase of the Rapid Rail refuse packer from McQueen Equipment. Is based on compliance to specifications, past experience, the specialized usage of this vehicle and overall best interest in long term costs. Primary Issues to Consider • Is the award to McQueen for the Rapid Rail automated packer in the best interest of the City? Supporting Information • Detailed Background • Analysis of Issues • Norb Kerber Equipment Service Superintendent • Council Report 2010-108 Page 2 Financial Impact: $ 180,292 Budgeted: Y/N Y Source: Refuse Utility Related Documents (CIP, ERP, etc.): Notes: Detailed Background Currently the Sanitation Division of Public Works uses three refuse trucks for the collection of refuse and yard waste for the City. Two of the trucks are equipped with the Rapid Rail (Heil) automated loader; one is used as the primary refuse truck and is on a 4 Day 10 hour shift for collection. The older truck with a Rapid Rail (Heil) automated loader is utilized as a backup unit. A third truck, a 1995 Freightliner with a rear loading refuse packer, is currently used for yard waste collection, bulk pick up, and as a backup for the automated trucks. Because of the small alleys in the City we need to specify a truck and Packer that will work in our type of use. The Freightliner Cab has the cab space and visibility to the side that is needed when a driver has to turn his body to watch the dump arm hundreds of times a day. And the Rapid Rail (Heil) arm system provides us with the reach needed to collect the Refuse containers that are set back • from the Alleys. It is because of this environment that the Specifications were written around this equipment. Analysis of Issues Is the award to McQueen Equipment for the automated packer in the best interest of the City? Public Works staff has reviewed the bid. The Automated Packer bid by McQueen Equipment supplies to the City a very reliable and proven piece of Equipment. The City has utilized this Refuse Packer Body for over 25 years and has the knowledge and expertise to maintain this highly sophisticated piece of equipment. Because of the type of Equipment that was specified we only received one bid. To assure that the cost was within acceptable levels, we asked to review bids submitted to other Governmental agencies for the same equipment. After reviewing bids from Red Wing MN, and Superior Wisconsin we determined that the bids were within the amounts submitted and accepted by these municipalities. Is the Bid amount within Budgeted amounts? The City Budgeted $184.000 in the 2010 Equipment Replacement Plan for the replacement of this Refuse Truck. The Money budgeted for this purchase is from the Refuse Utility Fund and is supported by Refuse Fees. The Total cost of the complete unit is $180,292. The difference $3,708 less can be contributed to some of the setup Council Report 2010-108 Page 3 and options normally supplied with this unit will be installed by the City shops. We have found that the quality of these dealer installed options are better off installed by our qualified mechanics that will be called on to service these components over the life of this vehicle. The total completed cost of this vehicle will exceed the budgeted amount by about $5,000. The reason is City staffs decision to wait until mid 2010 and order this truck with the new 2010 emissions standards; the new standards which apply to all new trucks in this class will supply us with a Zero Emission Refuse Truck. The down side is the extra cost. However it is our duty to show our concern for the environment and this is a step in that direction. • 0 • 0 • Specifications for one (1) Automated Side Loading Refuse Collection Truck Body FOR THE CITY OF HOPKINS 1010 FIRST STREET SOUTH HOPKINS, MN 55343 OPENING DATE: September 17th 2010 PLACE: City of Hopkins, City Hall 1010 First Street South Hopkins, MN 55343 TIME: 10:00 AM. local time BIDDER'S NAME: MacQueen Eguipment ADDRESS: 595 Aldine Street St. Paul, MN 55104 -1- ADVERTISEMENT FOR BID The City Council of Hopkins, Minnesota, will receive • sealed bids for the purchase of: ONE (1) AUTOMATED REFUSE BODY Bids will be received until 2:00 P.M. on the 17th day of September 2010, at the Hopkins City Hall, 1010 First Street South, Hopkins, MN 55343, at which time and place all bids will be publicly opened and read aloud.
