RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with Municipal Maintenance Equipment, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $120,000.00, for the purchase and installation of a vehicle hoist for the Fleet Services garage, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Fleet Internal Service Fund (Fund 150100).

BACKGROUND:

The vehicle hoist will be used to lift vehicles to be serviced by Fleet workers. The currently installed vehicle hoist is inadequate for the needs of the Fleet shop; in particular, it is incapable of properly lifting the Sheriff's prisoner transport buses within the confines of the Fleet garage. The installation of a new hoist will allow the Fleet shop to safely and appropriately lift vehicles to be serviced.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this purchase order, the Fleet Internal Service Fund will be limited in the size and type of vehicles that can be properly serviced internally and will have to sublet the routine maintenance and other repairs of certain vehicles.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
