Staff reviewed the bid submitted by TEREX and determined that it is in compliance with the
Department equipment specifications for a hybrid bucket truck
Staff had originally budgeted $272,500 in the FY 2015-16 Capital Outlay equipment budget for a
hybrid bucket truck, and despite two successive rounds of sealed bidding, the bid results were
higher than budgeted funds inclusive of applicable sales taxes. Thus, staff will administratively
amend the budget to cover the cost of the truck
FISCAL IMPACT:
The acquisition of the hybrid bucket truck will require an amendment to the FY 2015-16 apital
equipment outlay account 33-40-733-960-7135, in the amount of $53,171 to cover the entire
hybrid bucket truck acquisition, totaling $325,670.20, including applicable sales taxes.
