AGENDA TITLE: Reject Bids for Purchase of Dump Truck
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council reject all bids for the purchase
of a dump truck or the Public Works Street Division.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of replacing a 1976 Ford,
3,000 GVWR dump truck equipped with a mobile radio and emulsion tank used by
the Street Division for da-.ly street maintenance.
Specifications far this project were approved on November 2, 1988. Bids were
opened on November 16, 1988 and the following two bids were received:
Bidder Location Bid
F.B. Hart Company Sacramento $44,202.00
Interstate International, Inc. Stockton $47,304.89
Both bidders failed to meet the Cit 's required specifications for a wheel
base of 140-450 inches. A longer wheel base increases the turning radius of
the vehicle. Because a small turning radius is critical for the Street
Divison's operations, but was not specified, it is recommended that the City
Council reject all bids.
