RECYCLING TRUCK TENDERS

Recommendat:lons:

That the City of Port Coquitiam award the tender for the supply of two diasel
recycling trucks to Co~Van & Dell based on the tendered price of $146,470.46.

Background & Comments:

The City of Port Coquitlam received 17 quotes which range from $101,878.54 to
$218,304.70, for the supply of two diesel recycling trucks as shown on the
attached tender summary.

The third lowest bid of $141,349.00 ie from Co-Van & Commercial of New
Westminster, and the fourth lowest bid of $146,470.46 from Co-Van & Deli of
Port Coquitlam, both meet our.minimum specifications. Although the Dell bid
is $5,121.46 (3.6%) higher, it is recommended that the Dell bid is accepted
because Dell is very close to the works yard and we have received good support
and warranty work in the past. ‘There was’ $150,000.00 estimated in the 1991
budget for tender purchases, the funds would be coming from the $400,000.00
allocated from the Tax Sale Reserve for recycling equipment.

The recycling truck was specified as a low profile right-hand drive diesel
truck complete with a hydraulic dumping steel box.

The two lowest bids from Rollins Machinery did not meet the specifications in
that hydraulic brakes rather than air brakes was offered.
