Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Utilities and Department of Public Service are requesting to purchase a Volumetric Concrete Truck and Cement Storage Silo. A volumetric concrete truck is a truck that carries dry materials to make concrete. The truck that the departments would like to purchase is from a company called CemenTech, who is an approved, contracted vendor with Sourcewell. Sourcewell is a cooperative purchasing alliance of which the City of Toledo is a member. The truck will be large enough to produce up to 60 cubic yards of concrete per hour. By purchasing a silo with this truck, Streets, Bridges & Harbor will be able to store dry cement material that can be loaded onto the truck whenever needed.
This truck and silo will be used for most of the concrete work performed within the departments. Concrete work is normally needed in utility restorations, sidewalk replacements, curb replacements, and street repairs.
The advantages of having a volumetric concrete truck are:
1. Cuts the time out waiting to get concrete from a vendor
2. Truck makes any type or quantity of concrete needed
3. No short load fees or extra fuel charges
4. Can get concrete when needed
5. No limit to how much we need to purchase
6. Can save up to 40% the cost to purchase concrete locally
The estimated cost to purchase the truck and silo are:
• Truck - $276,507.03
• Silo - $41,491.72
Total - $317,998.75
