CONSENT CALENDAR Andrea Daroca
DATE: May 29, 1990
SUBJECT: Purchase of Fleet Equipment
DEPARTMENT: Finance 0
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita, in need of one (1) heavy duty diesel tractor loader
and two (2) triplex riding mowers advertised and requested sealed bids from
potential suppliers with bid openings of May 10 and May 21, 1990, at 11:00 a.m.
for bids GS -89-90-08 and GS -89-90-11. The following bids were received from
potential suppliers for the respective bids:
GS -89-90-08
Equipment Center - $23,479.65
Valley Ford Tractor $25,509.87.
So. Cal. Ford Tractor $27,697.36
GS -89-90-11
Pacific Equipment Co. $16,007.16,
San Diego Turf $17,696.25
West Star Distributing $18,309.00
All equipment bid was included in this year's 1989-90 budget. Since Equipment
Center, the lowest bidder, did not meet the City's specifications but insisted
they could do the job with a Case tractor loader, the City's Parks Division
requested a demonstration from both Equipment Center and Valley Ford Tractor,
the two low bidders in GS -89-90-08. The Case tractor loader could not perform
at the level of the Ford tractor loader.
Pacific Equipment Company, provider of the two (2) triplex riding mowers, met
all specifications required in Bid GS -897-90-11 and was low bidder.
RECOMMENDATION
That City Council award the bid to Valley Ford Tractor for the one heavy duty
diesel tractor loader because the low bidder, Equipment Center, did not meet
specifications identified in Bid GS -89-90-08. Also, that staff be directed to
purchase the two triplex riding mowers from Pacific Equipment Company who was
low bidder and met all specifications identified in Bid GS -89-90-11.
