Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance (R&BM) received bids for the manufacturing of heavy-duty snow plow racks and pallets. Industrial Power Systems, Inc. (IPS) was the only bidder to submit a proposal in the amount of $363,610.49. IPS also submitted a proposal of $85,899.51 for the installation of the rack system. Ordinance 551-22 was approved on October 25th for the expenditure of $400,000 for this system. This ordinance is requesting approval to appropriate and expend no more than $50,000 to supplement the contract with IPS to pay for the entire installation of the rack system.
These racks and pallets will be used to safely store all of the snow plows that the division has for its trucks. This will keep the snow plows in the off season safe from damage and also make it safer for the employees to install the snow plows on the trucks.
The bids for the storage system were for three (3) buildings. The R&BM Central Ave. facility will have a storage system to manage up forty-two (42) plows while the Byrne Rd. facility and Water St. facility location will both manage up to twenty (20) plows each.
